Sections on This ScreenTop LevelThe top of the page displays high-level identifying information for the server being viewed. The data fields displayed here depend on the server type. General PropertiesThis section lists the properties the user specified when creating or last modifying the server:
Type & Network PropertiesThis section lists identifying network information for the platform. All these values are initially auto-discovered and can be edited afterwards.
ServersThis section lists the servers discovered on this platform. (If the platform was auto-discovered (and not manually added, which is rare), users cannot manually add servers to the platform; they must be auto-discovered also. Users can delete from the list, however, if they don't like HQ's auto-discovery results.) To view a server listed here, click the server's name. Each server's availability is also indicated. ServicesThis section lists the plaftorm services discovered on this platform. (For the most part, resources are auto-discovered, and therefore users cannot manually add to a list of such resources. Users can delete from the list, however, if they don't like HQ's auto-discovery results.) To view a service listed here, click the service's name. Each service's availability is also indicated. Groups Containing This ResourceThis section lists the groups of which this platform is a member. To view a group listed here, click the group's name. Configuration PropertiesThis section displays the monitoring configuration for this platform. Platforms do not have shared configuration properties. HQ often provides reasonable defaults for the configuration properties, but HQ users must provide information specific to their environment. 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 UI Reference.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
