OpenView Network Node Manager: Designing and Implementing an Enterprise Solution

Presenting Performance Data to the Consumer

A network manager spends some of the time making presentations about network performance and isn’t always in a position to present the data online. NNM performance data needs to be captured and repurposed for offline meetings.

Assuming that NNM historical performance data is available, a few simple screenshots could suffice. (See “Taking Screenshots of Maps” on page88.) Note that the standard xnmgraph window background is black, which lets the other line colors stand out clearly. The background color is controlled by an X-Window resource located in the $APP_DEFS/XNmgraph resource file. The resulting file should be transferred from the UNIX NNM system to the authoring workstation in binary format.
