6-1 What is SystemInsight?
SystemInsight is an OVNPM component, which displays current system information in easy to understand
graphical and tabular displays. The displays are called views, which are a collection of related system metrics
that are displayed together. Metrics are informative interpretations developed from the observations made of host
activity.
There are two types of views: server-defined and user-defined. An extensive set of server-defined views is created
during the installation phase and automatically sent to the Display Agent.
You cannot modify server-defined views. But you can tailor views or build new ones to suit your own special
requirements. In the Insight tab page in the Display Agent window, the following icon precedes these user-
defined views:
OVNPM’s graphical displays make it easy to identify abnormal system behavior. Once you identify a situation,
you can view all the data items that relate to it. The actual data used to calculate metrics is always available for
further analysis.
6-2 Exploring Domains
In the Insight tab page, the Domain Hierarchy box displays all the entities that make up your host system. An icon
in this list represents a logical entity in the system hierarchy.
A domain is an entity that makes up your system such as a disk or CPU. A domain may contain other domains
called sub-domains, which have their own sub-domains.
To simplify the display, the parent domain can hide sub-domains. If the box next to a domain icon contains a
plus sign, there are sub-domains, but these elements are not displayed. To display hidden sub-domains, click the
box next to the icon. Continue this procedure until all the sub-domains are displayed.
