Using the Platform - Architecture
These displays provides
you a view of RTView EM component connectivity, mapping between component
types, and component level connection and performance information. The
Architecture displays are
provided with RTView EM.
Displays include:
System Overview
View a topology map
of the central RTView EM monitoring components and their
current connection state. Each object represents a component which are color-coded to indicate
component status. Red indicates the component stopped running. Green indicates
the component is running.
