Utility screens

Throughout the system, BMC Defender Server provides various hyperlinks to different areas of the program. These utility links permit you to rapidly access related items and screens. 

Example

You can click on the Query hyperlink, found in the upper right of the display, to immediately navigate to the Reports > Query screen (to search for messages using the reporting facility). Likewise, when supplying an address group on any BMC Defender Server input dialog, a link is generally provided to permit you to immediately navigate to Go To Address Groups screen, to allow a new address group to be configured or address groups to be inspected.

These hyperlinks are typically (but not necessarily) distinguished by trailing ellipses, or follow a naming convention such as Go To X. These types of hyperlinks indicate that the main navigation tabs of the program can change if you click the link.

Other hyperlinks, such as those described in this section, do not necessarily change the navigation flow, but instead operate within the specific context of the current tabs. 

Example

Clicking on an IP address anywhere within BMC Defender Server can display the Device Information screen without changing the tabs or current navigation context. Similarly, you can view the Message Detail associated with any message, and retain the current navigation tab settings.

This final section contains utility screens that are accessed from various locations independent of the BMC Defender Server Tab navigation system, without changing the navigation context. These screens provide general utility in describing data items, and are accessed via hyperlinks from various BMC Defender Server locations, as defined herein.

This section provides information about the following topics:
