Using the Platform - Multi Area Service Views
In these displays, aggregated data
for alert states are organized by
Area
and shows all
Services, while highlighting
the most critical alert states using
color.
Data can be filtered by Owner,
Area,
Group,
Environment and alert Metric.
Use these displays, for
example, to isolate the Area and Environment in which a critical alert is
occurring. If you see a critical alert, get information by comparing alert
Metrics (such as how many other items are potentially affected).
These displays drill-down to the
Service By CI Type
display.
The
Multi Area Service Views
displays present data in tabular and heatmap
formats.
-
Group / Service Heatmap:
Heatmap of alert states for Services by Area,
with
the option to filter by
Area,
Group,
Environment and alert Metric, and the option to show Group
and Service Names.
-
Group / Region Heatmap:
Heatmap as described for the Group / Service Heatmap (above), with
the option to filter by Region
and no option to show
Service Names.
-
Group / Service Table:
Table of all Multi Area Service Views
data.
Group / Service Heatmap
View
heatmap of alert states for
Services in
one or all Areas,
filter by Group
or
Environment, and optionally show Service Names.
The heatmap
organizes Services
by one or all
Areas.
Each rectangle in the heatmap represents a
Service (for example, Applications, Demo Systems and so forth),
which are grouped by Area.
The rectangle size represents the number of CIs in the
Service; a larger size is a larger value.
Each Metric (selected from the drop-down menu) has a color gradient bar
that maps relative values to colors. Move your mouse over a rectangle to
see additional information.
Use the drop-down menus to
filter data shown in the heatmap: a different Owner,
one or all Areas,
one or all Environments, as
well as the alert Metric. By default, all
Areas, all
Environments, all Groups and Alert Impact are shown.
Drill-down and investigate by
clicking a
rectangle in the heatmap to view details in the Service By CI Type
display.

A and level 1
maps to a Criticality of E with equally spaced intermediate values). |

which are grouped by Area.
The rectangle size represents the number of CIs in the
Service; a larger size is a larger value.
Each Metric (selected from the drop-down menu) has a color gradient bar
that maps relative values to colors. Move your mouse over a rectangle to
see additional information.
Use the drop-down menus to
