Find your way around the interface

Objective

Know where to look the first time, and know which scope you are reading.

The three zones

  • The top bar: scope filters, search, language, theme, the eye that reveals real names, the documentation and alerts.
  • The left menu: the modules, grouped by area, with live counters on alerts, events and vulnerabilities.
  • The content area: the current page.

The menu, area by area

Area What you find there
Overview The dashboard of your whole scope
Assets The inventory, topology, storage and physical servers
Operations Alerts, incidents, events, vulnerabilities, backups and reports
Analytics Capacity, opportunities, recommendations, carbon and the simulator
Transformation Sizing and scenario comparison
Settings Source integration, users, thresholds and costs

The top bar filters

They apply to every screen, and stay in place when you change page:

  1. Choose the datacenter, cluster or source to look at.
  2. To read the past, choose a specific collection instead of the latest.
  3. Click Reset to go back to the whole consolidated current state.

A number surprises you? Look at the filters first: they are the leading cause of a gap.

The search field finds any object, whatever its platform: a machine, a host, a cluster. The / key puts the cursor there.
