Accessing SGM Data from the SGM Server Home Page
From the SGM Server Home Page, you can access many Web pages containing SGM data, including server status, network status, installation logs, message logs, product documentation, Cisco.com, and other information about SGM. You can also download the SGM clients.
To access the SGM Server Home page, use one of the following procedures:
•Select Web Links > Server Home Page from the SGM Main Menu.
•Enter the following URL in a Web browser:
http://server_name:1774
Where server_name is the name or IP address of the server on which the SGM server is running and 1774 is the Web port being using by SGM. (1774 is the default port number.) If you do not know the name or Web port of the SGM Web Server, contact the system administrator who installed the SGM server software.
•Select Home from the menu bar of any of the SGM Web pages.
The SGM Server Home Page (Figure 7-1) is displayed.
Figure 7-1 SGM Server Home Page
The rest of this chapter provides detailed information about the SGM information you can access from the SGM Server Home Page.
Modifying SGM Web Output (Solaris Only)
SGM enables you to modify the following aspects of its Web output:
•To control how often, in seconds, SGM updates certain Web output, use the sgm weblogupdate command. The valid range is 1 second to an unlimited number of seconds. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
•To set the maximum number of rows for SGM ASCII Web output, such as displays of detailed debugging information, use the sgm maxasciirows command. The valid range is 1 row to an unlimited number of rows. The default value is 6000 rows.
•To set the maximum number of rows for SGM HTML Web output, such as displays of statistics reports, status change messages, or SNMP trap messages, use the sgm maxhtmlrows command. The valid range is 1 row to an unlimited number of rows. The default value is 500 rows.
•To specify whether SGM is to show real node names or display names in Web pages, enter the sgm webnames command:
–To show the real DNS names of nodes, as discovered by SGM, enter sgm webnames real. This is the default setting.
–To show display names, enter sgm webnames display. Display names are new names that you specify for nodes. For more information about display names, see the "Editing a Node" section.
•To specify whether SGM is to display send and receive utilization for linksets and links as percentages or in Erlangs in Web pages, enter the sgm webutil command:
–To display utilization as a percentage, enter sgm webutil percent. This is the default setting.
–To show display utilization in Erlangs, enter sgm webutil erlangs.
See the "Working with SGM Statistics Reports" section for more information on send and receive utilization for linksets and links.
Each of these commands requires you to be logged in as the root user, as described in the "Becoming the Root User (Solaris Only)" section, or as a super user, as described in the "Specifying a Super User (Solaris Only)" section.
