monitored NonStop systems. Each of those systems can contain a list of monitored
service types, including system services such as CPU, Disk, and TMF, and also
application services monitored via the ASAPX product. Each of those service types
can contain a list of subservices, each of which can contain a list of its subservices,
and so on, to any level of detail. This organization makes it easy to categorize and
view NonStop Kernel objects.

Services tree view, so you can quickly determine, at a high level, the state of all
services in your NonStop network. Once you detect a problem, you can drill down
