OSC Window
You can use the Object State Change (OSC) window to obtain a history of object state
changes. The OSC view provides both a high-level graphical overview of object state
changes and a detailed log of state changes. The OSC window consists of two areas,
so you can obtain both high-level and detailed state change information.
The upper portion of the OSC window provides a scoreboard with an annotated matrix
of the number and type of state changes that have occurred.
Each row of the scoreboard represents the different entity types monitored; for
example CPU, Disk, and Expand entities.
Each column of the scoreboard represents different possible object states; for example
Up, Down, and Warning states.
Selecting a cell in the scoreboard causes an analysis of the OSC log in the lower part
of the window. All object state changes that match the selected entity and state are
selected. For example, clicking the cell for the Disk row, and the Down column selects
all Down Disk items in the OSC log.
