Description

Session

Opens the ASAP Host Session window.

Graph

Nodes

Creates a new Graph window for each host node monitored. Each Graph

window then updates in real time as data is received from your host

system.

Use this menu item to view the overall performance of your network. If you

monitor a small number of nodes, you can repeatedly select an entity and

then select Graph Nodes to obtain a mixed set of Graphs on different

entities. You can also create a node graph manually for selected nodes in

your network by using the New Graph menu item in menus for the grid

portion of the Browse window.

Dashboard

Select Dashboard from the View menu in the Browse window to save or

display a user-defined dashboard consisting of one or more graphics

representing various aspects of your system. This menu item allows you

to name, save, and display graphic dashboards consisting of a variety of

graphic types representing various nodes, entity, and object information.

Dashboard allows you to name and save Application, CPU, Disk, Expand,

File, Process, ProcessBusy, RDF, Spooler, Tape, TMF, and related

graphics. You can name, save, and redisplay dashboards whenever you

want to graphically review particular areas of your system. As you define

more dashboards, this cascading menu grows dynamically, retaining each

of your named dashboards.

You can create and add new graphs to the dashboard in a variety of ways.

One sequence follows:

1. Compose the view you want to create in the Browse window

using the Node, Entity, Object, Samples, and MinState menus.

2. Optionally use Graph Object History to define the amount of

history desired. For example, if you want history on CPU 0, right-

click CPU 0 in the grid portion of the browse window and then

select Graph Object History from the menu.

3. Double-click the NodeName column heading in the grid area of

browse window to create a new graph window.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each element you want to add to

the dashboard.
