Section 4: Using ASAP
Using ASAP, you can obtain real-time and historic views of your NonStop OS to see
everything from generalized overviews of availability and performance for system and
application objects to detailed customized views of specific node-entity-object-attribute
combinations.
ASAP also provides a consistent viewing paradigm for all application domain and
NonStop OS objects: Application, CPU, Disk, Expand, File, Node, Process,
ProcessBusy, RDF, Spooler, System, Tape, and TMF. Regardless of the entity type,
you can use context-sensitive pop-up menus to get detailed reports about an entity by
clicking graph and grid elements.
You see these interface components while using ASAP:
