IMPORTANT: · You can perform corresponding operations on resources based on the assigned permissions. For example, if you have the monitor permissions but do not have the delete permissions for a resource, you can only monitor the resource, but you cannot delete the resource. · The system does not display the specific models for incompatible resource types in the discovered resources. To add such a resource to monitor, manually select an appropriate monitor template or wait for the system to support this type before managing and monitoring the resource. · To successfully add discovered resources to monitor, select a monitor template that matches the discovery protocol (supported per collection unit). To implement multi-protocol collection after adding the resources, configure multi-protocol collection in the Monitor menu. · When the system cannot identify the specific type of discovered resources (for example, it can identify only the server category), you must manually select an appropriate monitor template and configure monitor parameters for the system to monitor and manage the resources. · After a task is deleted, only administrators can view and operate on the discovered resources that are not associated with any task permissions. · The discovered resource statuses (such as monitoring and management statuses) are synchronized periodically every five minutes from other modules. The inconsistencies that might occur within a synchronization interval will be addressed after that interval. The resource statuses will become consistent at last. · For the valid discovered resources that are not monitored or managed, if the automatically identified type is incorrect, you can manually select the correct type under the same protocol. (If the parameter template associated with the discovered resources is deleted, you must edit the task, reselect the parameter template, and then correct the type after discovery.) |

Global operation topologies
The global operation topologies support the topological display and arrangement of network resources, providing unified management of resource views. Users can view and edit information related to configuration items and alarms through the graphical interface, including configuration item data and alarm data. Components register toolbar buttons, right-click menu, node link tips, and node link styles through the expansion interface to meet personalized requirements in various scenarios, providing users with a clear and visually appealing viewing and editing experience.
The main functions of global operation topologies are as follows:
· Unified display: Components use the resource import feature to achieve unified display of various controller devices in the global topology, showing resource alarms, device online/offline status, link tips, and other information.
· Topology framework customization: Support expansion, resource import, Toolbar, node and link tips, right-click menu, and other functions.
¡ Each component achieves its unique topology features through registering with the Toolbar, such as displaying terminals and showing Overlay links.
¡ Each component can expand node and link tip information as needed for personalized display.
¡ Each component adds device types to the global operation topology by registering CMDB and node types in the topology.
· View hierarchy and group editing: Group and sort views according to view type, function, or priority.
· Visual editing for view content: Add nodes and create physical links and logic connections in the view in a graphical way.
· One-stop solution for configuration items and monitoring information: Add and view configuration items and monitoring information on the same page without switching between different components.

Operation steps
1. Click the [system > log management > log level setting] menu item to enter the log level setting page.
2. Click the "log level" drop-down box of a service to modify the level of the running log.The log levels (arranged in descending order of severity) are divided into the following six types：
¡ FATAL: Indicate that each serious error event will cause the application to exit. This level is relatively high. Major errors, this level of error can directly stop the program.
¡ ERROR: Point out that although an error event occurs, it still does not affect the continued operation of the system. Print error and exception information. If you don't want to output too many logs, you can use this level.
¡ WARN: Indicating potential error situations, some information may not be error information, but there should also be some prompts for programmers.
¡ INFO: Messages emphasize the running process of the application at a coarse-grained level. Print some information that interests or is important to you. This can be used to output important information about program operation in a production environment, but it should not be abused to avoid printing too many logs.
¡ DEBUG: Pointing out that fine-grained information events are very helpful for debugging applications, mainly used to print some running information during the development process.
¡ TRACE: Unrelated logs, with low levels, are generally not used.
Remarks
· Log level settings do not support backup and recovery.
· Each selection of log level will also print logs higher than the current level.
