eG Monitoring
 

System View

While eG Enterprise focuses primarily on monitoring applications, many administrators still prefer to view their infrastructure from a hardware perspective - i.e., as systems they support. The eG monitoring console now provides a “system view”, which represents the overall health of systems in the target infrastructure, with a mapping of the applications that are executing on these systems. To open the System List page, click on the icon available in the Monitor tab. Then, select the Systems option from the Hosts/Applications tile.

The System List page indicates the current state of those systems/hosts that have been assigned to the current user for monitoring. In case of a ‘supermonitor’ however, the status of all managed systems in the environment will be available in this page. Typically, the state of a system is determined by the state of one/more applications executing on it. Therefore, if a particular system is in an abnormal state, then administrators might want to know which application(s) executing on that system is causing the anomaly. To enable administrators to determine this, against every system listed in this page, eG Enterprise displays the application components deployed on that system along with the component state. Once the problematic component on a system is identified, you can click on that component to view its layer model, tests, and measurements; this will reveal more details about the exact problem affecting component performance.

If too many systems are being currently monitored, then you can use the search options in this page to search for a particular system(s) and view its current state. To achieve this, follow the steps given below:

  • To view the systems that are in a particular state, select the state of your choice from the State list.

  • To view the state of specific systems, specify the whole/part of the System Name in this page. Multiple system names can be provided, separated by a white space - for example, agate orac92.

  • If you want to view the state of systems that are hosting components of a particular type, select the Type to search for.

  • You can also enter the whole/part of the component-type to search for in the Quick Type list box. This will enable you to view the status of those systems on which component-types that contain the specified search string are executing. Here again, you can search for multiple component types, by separating every type specification by a white space - for example, Web Oracle.

  • Click the Submit button to generate the systems list that fulfills the specified criteria.
