Selecting an Object
Considerations
You can add or remove entities from the ASAP environment using the EDL language.
For more information, see Section 6, Entity Definition Language (EDL).
You can dynamically configure icons using the Icon Server. For more information, see
Icon Server Control Panel on page 5-14.
Selecting an Object
To change the object or objects displayed in the Browse window, use the Object drop-
down list. The object names in the Object drop-down list depend on which host entities
your ASAP host configuration monitors. For example, if AsapMon processes are
running on a node but do not have the currently selected entity enabled on the host
node, the Object drop-down list is empty for that entity because the host systems are
not configured to report on objects under this entity.
To select an object using the Object drop-down list:
1. Click the arrow in the Object drop-down list.
2. Select the desired object from the list, or choose all items in the list by selecting
the asterisk (*).
To select an object using the Object toolbar buttons:
Click one of these buttons:
All objects for the currently selected node-entity combination
First object in the Object drop-down list
Last object in the Object drop-down list
Previous object in the Object drop-down list
Next object in the Object drop-down list
Selecting a Sample
To change the amount of sample history displayed in the Browse window, use the
Samples drop-down list. The number of samples selected in the Samples drop-down
controls the amount of history displayed in the Browse window. For example, if you
select Samples x 3, a history of the last three performance samples for the current
node-entity-object combination appears.
To specify a sample interval:
1. Click the arrow in the Samples drop-down list.
2. Select a samples value from the list, choose the asterisk (*) to specify the most
recent sample, or click the Samples x 1 toolbar button X1 to display the most
