Refreshing the Navigator

The Navigator refreshes automatically whenever the status of agents changes between offline and online. The Navigator does not update automatically when an agent is removed from or a new agent is added to the managed network. When the tool is enabled, click Apply pending updates to manually refresh the Navigator.

If an agent name is dimmed (grayed out), the agent has stopped or is not responding. It might also indicate that Marvel Enterprise Portal has timed out before detecting the availability of the agent.

For custom Navigator views, Apply pending updates is enabled in the Navigator toolbar whenever you have edited the view in the Navigator editor (added, removed, or renamed items). The tool is not enabled in the Navigator view when an agent has been removed from the Marvel Enterprise Monitoring Server. In these cases, the agent appears to be offline. To remove this agent from the Navigator display, delete the Navigator item through the Navigator editor.

A count of changes to the Navigator view is kept as agents are removed from, disabled, or added to the monitoring server. The counter shows as a superscripted number next to the tool (such as ⁹ for nine updates) and in the Navigator view status bar. You must refresh the Navigator to show these changes.
