Monitor Sessions

Monitoring the sessions in your network lets you keep track of session starts and failures. NTS lets you monitor any session that has an end point in, or traverses, the local system. A selection list of sessions is provided, from which you can obtain information about the type and status of your sessions, as well as associated data that can be used to determine problems.

From the NTS : Primary menu, you can display selection lists of sessions ordered as follows:
