View the Host Status

Figure: Health Tab

Clicking the Host Status link in the Tactical Monitoring Overview (TMO) on the Health tab displays the Current Network Status summary and the Host Details For All Hosts view in the main view pane. Clicking the Host Detail link from the left panel menu also displays these items.

Clicking any of the view links will display alert history, notifications, host and service status details, or just service status details for all hosts in the system.

On any Host Status view, an administrator can drill down to get additional status information:
  • Click a host name to view host state information
  • Click a host's Service Overview link (i.e., gear icon) to get details about services on that host, including ping times, packets lost, loads, users, free space, network statistics, RAM usage, swap usage, and total processes.
  • Click a host's service details link (i.e., document icon to right of the hostname) to display the Service Details view for that host.
