Resources Click the menu name to access either Browse (takes users to the Browse Resources screen, where they can locate and navigate through information about all managed resources), Currently Down (takes users to the Currently Down screen, where they can look at all managed resources that are unavailable), Nagios Availability (available only when Nagios is installed), or Recently Viewed (provides a drop-down list of resources that the user has recently viewed. Selecting one of those resources takes the user to the Current Health screen for the resource).
Analyze Click the menu name to access Reporting * (presents the Reporting screen, from which reports can be generated), Alert Center (presents the Alert Center, which displays a deployment wide alert summary), or Event Center (presents the Event Center, which displays a deployment-wide event summary).
Administration Takes users (with "Administer Hyperic HQ Server Configuration" permissions) to the Administration screen, where they can manage the system-wide settings
Search
The Search box in the upper right of the Masthead allows you to search for HQ resources of any type and HQ users.

Search results appear after four characters are entered in the text box. Results will include the first 10 platforms, servers, services, and groups whose name includes the search string.

Double-click a resource in the list to navigate to its Resource page.
