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). |

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.
