A number of pre-defined Visual Basic scripts are already included with NMS and provide a wide range of additional capabilities such as displaying useful information on the network map and logging pertinent network statistics. These pre-defined scripts can also be edited for maximum effectiveness by changing, for example, threshold levels and event management actions for various events. Using the point and click interface, you can quickly customize packaged scripts, changing, for example, the thresholds and corrective actions defined for various events. You can even build your own knowledge scripts using the visual basic for applications scripting language to manage your own custom applications. NMS's auto-discovery routine speeds up configuration by automatically searching your network for installed components, configuring essential status watches, and notification services then creating a graphical network map representing your computing environment and its current operational status.
NMS is also very intuitive to use in day to day operations.
Incorporating the look and feel of the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 GUI means even the most novice of network managers are quickly utilizing the product to detect and resolve network problems. Unlike other network management platforms, NMS will monitor as many servers, workstations, network devices, applications or services as you need it to, with only one license.
