About the Polling and Thresholds Console
The Polling and Thresholds Console is used to display groups and modify their
properties. To access the Polling and Threshold Console, open the Domain Manager
Administration Console.
Attaching to a Domain Manager, such as
the Multicast Manager, with the Domain Manager Administration Console requires an
Smarts user account with the following privileges and permissions:
- All privileges, specified in the serverConnect.conf file (or its equivalent) read by the Domain Manager.
- Permission to use the console operation, Configure Domain Manager Admin Console. Through the Global Manager Administration Console, this permission is specified in the Console Operations section of the user profile.
For information about configuring access
privileges, see the Smarts System Administration Guide. For information about
configuring permissions to perform specific console operations, see the Smarts
Service Assurance Manager Configuration Guide.
