Tasks Available on This Screen
On this screen, users can do one thing: view real-time data for a platform or group of platforms.
To view a platform's or group's real-time data:
- On the
tab, click Live Exec.
- Select a command from Please select a query to run.
See a description of available commands.
- The results will be automatically displayed at the right, with the name of the platform (user-selected platform, in the case of a group) and the selected command listed about the data table.
In the case of a group:
- If a member of the group has not previously been selected, click
next to a specific platform now. That platform will be displayed first by default for subsequent commands.
- If a member of a group is not available,
is displayed next to the resource, and, when it is clicked, the reason why it is unavailable is displayed at the right.
- To view the real-time data for another platform in the group, click
next to that platform. The platform for which data is currently being displayed is highlighted at the left.

Sections on this Screen
The left side of this screen displays a droplist of available commands to be run on the selected platform or group. In the case of a group, it also lists the component platforms, which users can select individually to view their real-time data.
The right side of this screen displays the real-time data returned from running the command on the selected platform(s). See a description of available commands and the data they return. If the HQ Agent cannot reach the platform, an error message is displayed here instead.

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). |

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. |
The masthead also displays the two most recently triggered alerts. Users can click the alert's time to be taken to the alert detail.
