Component Administration - Add/Modify Components
 

Viewing the Managed Infrastructure

While monitoring large environments using eG Enterprise, administrators may want to instantly figure out the total number of managed components in the environment across categories / component-types to assess the load on the eG manager and the database. Some other times, they may require a quick summary of the number of managed components within a particular zone/service/segment. To enable such administrators and top-level executives to receive an overview of the managed infrastructure based on chosen criteria, the eG administrative interface provides the Managed Infrastructure page.

To view the Managed Infrastructure page, click on the icon available in the Admin tab. Then, select the View option from the Component sub-menu in the Infrastructure tile. This page provides administrators with a quick look at the managed infrastructure as a whole, based on a chosen service/zone/segment.

Once you are in this page, do the following to view the information you require:

  • By default, this page vertically displays the number of managed components under each component category in the environment. Accordingly, by default, the View by list is set to Component, Category is chosen from the Group by list, and Vertical Pane is chosen from the View in list. To view the managed components within a particular service/zone/segment instead, select the corresponding option from the View by list. The impact of this selection on the contents of the page is been discussed below:
    • Zone: If you select this option from the View by list, then, you will have to select a particular zone from the Zone list; in this case, this page will display the number and category/type of components that have been included in the given zone.
    • Service: If you select this option from the View by list, then, you will have to select a particular service from the Service list; in this case therefore, the page will display the number and category/type of components that are engaged in the delivery of the chosen service.
    • Segment: If you select this option from the View by list, then, you will have to select a particular segment from the Segment list; in this case therefore, the page will display the number and category/type of components that are part of the chosen segment.

  • If the component list is to be grouped according to a pre-configured component category - eg., Database Servers, Web Servers, Web Application Servers - select Category from the Group by list. On the other hand, to group the resulting component list on the basis of a component-type, select Component Type from the Group by list.
