Using the Platform - Service Summary Views
These displays
present
alert states at the component-level
by Service in tabular and heatmap formats, while highlighting
the most critical alert state.
Data can be filtered by
Owner,
Area, Group, Service or Environment.
Use these displays to get
alert details and detailed status
information for a particular Service,
such as a list of all the CI Types relevant to a Service and the quality of the
performance metrics for each CI.
The
Service Summary Views displays
are:
-
Service By CI Type:
Table of
alert states for a Service
organized
CI Type,
with general alert information.
-
Service Summary:
Table of CIs by
Service,
with detailed alert information.
-
Service Health Heatmap:
Heatmap of
CIs by
Service, with
the
option to filter by Owner,
Area,
Group,
Environment
and alert Metric,
and show CI Names.
-
Service Browser:
Table of CIs by
Service with a
browser
format.
Service By CI Type

CI Type. See the CI Count for a Service and obtain alert statistics for
CI Types such as Alert Severity and Alert Count.
Use this display to summarize
alerts occurring for a
Service and
determine which component types are malfunctioning. View a list of all active

alerts exceeded a threshold for the CI Type. |
Select a row for a CI Type that has an
active alert (the Alert Severity is red or yellow) to view the active
alerts in the lower table. Double-click a row to view a detailed list of CIs
associated with the CI Type in the Service Summary display.

Service Health Heatmap
View heatmap of alert states
for CIs
associated with a
Service.
The heatmap
organizes
CIs
by
the Service
selected.
Each rectangle in the heatmap represents a
CI (for example, localhost-14).
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
values.
Use the drop-down menus to
filter data shown in the heatmap: a different Owner, Area,
Group or
Service,
one or all Environments, as
well as the alert Metric. By default, Alert Impact metrics are shown.
Optionally show CI Names.

For details about display title bar functionality,
see Title Bar Functionality.
Owner |

|
CI Names |
Display the CI
names in each heatmap rectangle. |
Metric |
Select
the metric to display in the heatmap. Each Metric has a color gradient bar
that maps relative values to colors. |
Alert
Impact |
The
highest
Alert
Impact value for any alert associated
with CIs in a given
rectangle. Values range
from 0 - 10, as indicated in the color gradient
bar, where 10 is the highest
Alert
Impact.
The
Alert
Impact
is calculated for each
CI, which is the
product of the CI
Criticality times the current maximum Alert Severity. |
Alert Severity |
The
maximum level of alerts in a given heatmap rectangle. Values range from 0
- 2, as indicated in the color gradient
bar, where 2 is the highest
Alert Severity. |
|
Metrics that
have exceeded their specified ALARM LEVEL threshold have an
Alert Severity value of 2. For a given
heatmap rectangle, this indicates that one or more metrics
have reached their
alert thresholds.
|
|
|
Metrics that
have exceeded their specified WARNING LEVEL threshold have an
Alert Severity value of 1. For a given
heatmap rectangle, this indicates that one or more metrics
have reached their warning thresholds. |
|
|
Metrics that have not exceeded either specified threshold have an
Alert Severity value of 0. For a given
heatmap rectangle, this indicates that no metrics
have reached their warning or alert
thresholds. |
|
Alert Count |
The
total number of critical and warning alerts in a given heatmap rectangle. The color gradient
bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the
value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from
0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the
gradient bar indicates the average alert count. |
Max Criticality |
The
maximum level of Criticality (rank of importance) in a given heatmap rectangle. Values range from 1 to 5, as indicated in the color gradient
bar, where 5 is the highest Criticality.
Criticality is specified in the
Service Data Model (CMDB) by your administrator. Criticality values are listed in the Component Views /
CI Service Table
display, which range from A to E, where A is the
highest Criticality (level 5 maps to a Criticality of
A and level 1
maps to a Criticality of E with equally spaced intermediate values). |
