User Interface Orientation Tips
As you navigate through PCC views, you will notice that a view is often
associated with several names or brief descriptions. Paying attention to the
different ways a view is characterized can help you orient yourself:
• Link text – A navigation link leading to a view is often the most specific
description of the view.
For example, the link
View Status Detail For This Host displays the Host Detail
view for a specific host; the link View Host Status Detail For All Hosts displays
the
Host Detail view for all hosts.
• Gray-box heading – Some views have a gray box in the upper left corner
that contains information about the latest update of the view and the
update frequency (see
User Interface Components , page 2-2, for an illus-
tration). In addition, the heading in this box sometimes provides an
additional characterization of the view contents.
For example, the gray-box heading for the
Nagios Stats view is Performance
Information
, indicating that the view shows the performance of the Nagios
monitoring process.
• Filter description – Information that is a subset of information obtained
by filtering another view is sometimes indicated by a gray box entitled
Display Filters . The box describes the filtering used.
For example, the
Service Problems view provides a subset of the informa-
tion in the
Service Detail view. The Display Filters box indicates that the
Service Status Types shown are All Problems .
• Chart heading – Some views have several separate charts. The heading of
the most prominent chart often reflects the main purpose of the view
(see
User Interface Components , page 2-2, for an illustration).
