Components at a Glance

This page appears as soon as the user logs into the eG Enterprise or click the Overview option in the Infrastructure tile of the eG admin interface.

By default, the Components at a Glance section provides a quick summary of components currently monitored and those pending configuration. You can look below the summary to view a component type-wise break-up of the count of managed components. You can move your mouse pointer over a component type to know how many components of that type have tests that are yet to be configured.

To know which components of a type are pending configuration, click on the Unconfigured components count that appears upon mouse over of a component type. The Components at a Glance section displaying the components for which tests are to be configured will then appear. To know more about the components that are yet to be configured, click here.

You can also use the Add Component button in this page to add a new component for monitoring.

Note that if you are logging into the eG admin interface for the first time after installation, then the Components at a Glance section will not display any components. This is because, no components are managed yet in the environment. To guide you step-by-step through the process of readying your environment for monitoring, this page provides useful, interactive tips. These tips are available in the form of postit-like notes titled ‘What's Next’, at the bottom, right corner of this page.

For instance, when you login to the eG admin interface for the first time, this note will prompt you to begin monitoring by installing agents. Clicking on the install agents link in the note will invoke a set of steps that will explain how you can go from downloading agents from the eG admin interface itself to having your environment automatically discovered and managed.
