Accessing additional data in InfoBoxes

InfoBoxes are tables of attributes that are accessed from the icons that represent parameters and application classes. The PATROL consoles and the PATROL Agent populate all of the attributes that appear in the parameter InfoBoxes and some of the attributes, such as icon type or status, that appear in the application InfoBoxes.

In each of the application InfoBoxes, the items generated by the Knowledge Module (KM) appear below the items generated by the PATROL console. These items are preceded by a check mark (PATROL Console for Microsoft Windows) or are separated from the console items by a horizontal rule (PATROL Console for UNIX). The PATROL Central Operator consoles differentiate between the items in a similar way.

The attributes that populate the InfoBoxes are gathered and updated periodically. Some of the attributes that appear in the application InfoBoxes remain static. Each InfoBox provides an Update button that you can use to force a refresh of the attributes in that InfoBox.
