Aggregates

To open this page, click on the icon available in the Monitor tab. Then, select the Aggregates option from the Hosts/Applications tile. By default, the page allows a user to view the current state of the aggregate components that have been directly assigned to him/her.

To view the state of only independent/unassociated components - i.e., those components that are not associated with any segment/service - deselect the Show All Components check box.

By default, the page represents all Aggregate Components as icons. Corresponding to every component-type icon, the monitored components of that type and their current state will be displayed.

Note:

In target environments where a large number of components are managed, the component-type icons could cramp the component display. To avoid this, you can set the Show icon for component-type flag in the MONITOR SETTINGS - Other Display Settings page to No. Doing so removes the icons from the Component List page, and replaces them with the names of the corresponding component-types.

The color-coding associated with a component indicates its state: Red indicates critical problems, Green is used to indicate good health, while Blue is used to indicate an unknown state. Also, orange indicates major problems, and amber indicates minor ones. Clicking on the independent components will take the user to the corresponding layer model.

Clicking on a component in this page leads you to the layer model, tests, and measurements related to that component.

This page also provides a wide variety of search options using which you can selectively view component status.

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

• To view the state of components that use a specific nick name, specify the whole/part of the Nick name to search for. Multiple nick names can be provided, separated by a white space - for example, sun_ora web_serv.

• If you want to view the state of 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 Search Types list box. This will enable you to view the status of those components that are of the types which embed the specified search string. 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 component list that fulfills the specified criteria.
