The ASAP Client graphical user interface (GUI), the primary data analysis interface to
ASAP displays NonStop OS performance and state information, as well as customer
application availability statistics. Using the ASAP Client, you can view and analyze
real-time or historical network-wide views of Application, Comm, CPU, Disk, Expand,
File, Node, Process, ProcessBusy, Query, RDF, Spooler, System, Tape, TCP/IP, Telnet
Server, and TMF entities. Informational views can encompass all of your NonStop OS
nodes, reflect a selected set of nodes, or focus on a single node, entity, or object.
The ASAP Client also has built-in agent functions that run on Windows 2003 Server,
XP, 2000, NT, ME, or Windows 98. ASAP Client automatically retrieves and analyzes
statistics from the ASAP Server. ASAP Client services can be configured to forward
object statistics and state information to wireless phones, pagers, SMTP e-mail
servers, HTML browser, or to enterprise management frameworks such as HP
OpenView.
