Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "For medium to large network sizes, a more appropriate view option is to set the first level to Location then level two to Department."

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

net start SolarWindsTrapService

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Click on External Websites in Orion Web Administration and then click on the ADD button."
