Viewing a Resource's MetricsTopics marked with * relate to HQ Enterprise-only features. This screen displays all the metrics, in numeric form, that HQ collects for the resource in the metric display range, even those metrics for which no data has been collected. The metrics displayed on the screen vary by resource type; find out which metrics can be collected for this resource in the list of managed products.

Sections on This ScreenResources TabThe Metric Data TabEach metric is displayed with its low, average, peak, and last-recorded values and its collection interval. Also displayed is the number of times a collected metric value triggered an alert ("Alerts") and how many times it was out-of-bounds ("OOB"). Again, all these values are selected only from the metric display range. The value of a metric's Collection Interval indicates whether or not data is being collected for the metric. A value of "NONE" indicates that data is not being collected. Any other value indicates the frequency with which HQ collects the data. Metrics can be charted and also their baseline values can be set. Metric Display RangeThis section displays the metric display range used in this, and all Monitoring, screens. Users can change the display range. Group MetricsThis screen displays summary metric data for groups (both user-created compatible groups and HQ-created autogroups). For compatible groups, HQ displays metric data much like it does for a single resource, but it aggregates metrics at the group level and also displays the SUM. The screen indicates the status of metric collection for the group's member resources with data such as # Collected (how many member resources have collected data for the listed metric). Users can compare all listed metrics for a selected set of member resources, and they can select a metric to be charted for 10 of the group's members. In the case of an autogroup, this screen displays all metrics available for collection for the autogroup's resource type. The "Members Collecting" section denotes if any member of the autogroup is collecting that metric: "NO" (none), "YES" (all), or "SOME." If a metric is currently being collected, its Collection Interval is also listed: either a specific value if all members that are collecting the metric have the same collection interval, or "DIFFERENT" if the values vary. Changing values (stopping collection, starting collection, collection interval, etc.) for a metric in a group imposes that one value on all the group's members. Navigating via the Masthead MenuMain screens in Hyperic contain a masthead menu. Users can navigate to the following parts of HQ using this menu:
The masthead also displays the two most recently triggered alerts. Users can click the alert's time to be taken to the alert detail. Return to the HQ User Interface Reference.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
