Configuring HQ Monitoring Defaults

Available in HQ Open Source unless marked by * for HQ Enterprise only

This screen allows users to access the default values for monitoring metrics (the collection interval, whether it is collected by default, and whether it is treated as an indicator metric) and resource-type alert definitions for every platform type, server type, service type, and platform service type that HQ can manage. The icon indicates a service and the server that hosts it. (In the "Platform Service Types" section, the icon still indicates a (platform) service, but the hosting platform isn't indicated.)

Navigating via the Masthead Menu

Main screens in Hyperic contain a masthead menu. Users can navigate to the following parts of HQ using this menu:

Dashboard Takes users to the Dashboard, the starting screen in HQ, which displays information about resource health, recent alerts, recently performed auto-discovery scan, and control actions
Browse Resources Takes users to the screen where they can locate and navigate through information about all managed resources
Alert Center Takes users to the Alert Center, where they can look at all alerts triggered across the system
Report Center * Takes users to the Report Center, where they can generate all reports available in HQ.
Administration Takes users (with "Administer Hyperic HQ Server Configuration" permissions) to the Administration screen, where they can manage the system-wide settings
Recent Resources 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.
Help Opens screen-sensitive online help in a secondary window

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