Feedback is welcome. Click Add Comment at the bottom of the page. About the Browse PageClick Browse on the Resources tab in the masthead to display the Browse page. The Browse page lists all or a subset of your managed resources of a selected inventory level. The default List View lists key property values and the current availability of each resource of the selected inventory level. Chart View charts the indicator metrics for each resource. The controls on the Browse page allow you to navigate to resource of interest and manage you resource inventory. Filter the Resource List
Navigation and View OptionsSwitch Between Chart and List ViewTo view indicator metric charts for each resource, click To switch back to List View, click Navigate to a ResourceFrom either List View or Chart View, click the name of a resource to display its Monitor page. From List View, click the M, I, or A icon next to the resource name to navigate to its Monitor, Inventory, or Alert page. If an icon does not appear for a resource, the associated page is not available for that resource type. For instance, there is no Monitor page for a Mixed Group.
About Breadcrumb LinksThe breadcrumbs on resource pages in the HQ user interface ease the process of navigating among related resources and backtracking to previously viewed resources. As of HQ 4.2, the breadcrumbs on a resource page reflect where the resource fits in a resource hierarchy. Breadcrumbs correspond to steps you took (resources you selected) to navigate down a resource hierarchy. For example, if you navigate to a service, starting at the top of the hosting hierarchy - by browsing to a platform and drilling down - the breadcrumbs are links to the platform and server you visited along the way: Browse > PlatformName > ServerName > ServiceName When you navigate to a resource that is outside the currently resource hierarchy, the breadcrumb trail is purged. For example, if you drill down to a service, as described above, and then navigate to an application that the service belongs to (from the service's Inventory page) the breadcrumbs are purged and the application is your new starting point. Note that, when you jump outside the current hosting hierarchy, a link to the previously viewed resource appears - so you can get back to it easily, if you wish. For example Browse > ApplicationName Clicking Browse in the breadcrumb trail opens the Browse page for the inventory level (platform, server, or service) most recently browsed.
Create a PlatformClick New Platform in the Tools menu and proceed to the "New Platform" page. Note: The only types of platforms you can create are non-discoverable platform, such as network devices or virtual hosts. Operating system platforms are auto-discovered by the HQ Agent, and can not be manually created. Create an ApplicationClick New Application in the Tools Menu and proceed to the "New Application" page. Create a New GroupTo create a new group, click New Group in the Tools Menu and proceed to the "New Group" page. Note: To create a group that contains one or more of the resources listed the Browse page, see the next section below. Select and Add Platforms, Servers, or Services to a New or Existing GroupWhen the Browse page lists platforms, servers, or services, you can select one or more resource instances and add them to a new or an existing group.
Create a New Group of GroupsWhen the Browse page lists groups, you can select one or more resource instances and add them to a new group. Note: You cannot add groups to an existing group from the Browse page. Instead, navigate the the group to which you wish to add a group, and click Add to List.
Delete a ResourceTo delete a resource from the HQ inventory, checkmark the resource and click The resource is permanently removed from the HQ inventory, and therefore cannot be monitored or controlled. Note: In HQ 4.1 and later, resource deletion is asynchronous. Resources you delete will disappear from the resource list immediately. Removal of the resources from the HQ database occurs asynchronously; there may be a slight delay before resources are removed from the database. If you restart agent prior to the resource is removed from the database, errors might occur if you re-add the resource to memory after the agent rediscovers it. Do not try to re-import a platform immediately after deleting it - this may fail. Note also that until the delete process running in background completes, a deleted platform will still appear in the HQ Health's Agent tab. Similarly, the HQ license count displayed in the web user interface will not be decremented until the delete process is completed. The delete process will timeout after 15 minutes. Incomplete delete processing can corrupt the HQ database. If wish to delete many resources at once, for example a platform with hundreds of servers or services, first increase the timeout period to ensure the processing has time to complete To increase the timeout period, increase the value of the TransactionTimeout attribute in HQ_SERVER_HOME/conf/templates/jboss-service.xml from 900 seconds to 9000 seconds or more, and restart the HQ Server. Enable or Disable Alert DefinitionsIn HQ 4.1 and later, the Resource > Browse page allows you to enable or disable all alerts for one or more resources. Checkmark desired resources, and click Enable All Alerts or Disable All Alerts. Return to the Dashboard.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
