Using the Platform - Single Area Service Views
In these displays, aggregated data
for alert states are organized by
Group
for
all
Services in a
single
Area,
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.
These displays drill-down to the
Service By CI Type
display.
The Single
Area Service Views displays
present data in tabular and heatmap formats.

Group / Service Heatmap
View
heatmap of alert states
for Services
in one Area, filtered by Group
and
Environment.
The heatmap
organizes Services
by Groups
in an Area.
Each rectangle in the heatmap represents a
Service, which is
arranged by Group.
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,
a different Area,
one or all Groups
or Environments, as
well as the alert Metric. By default, all Groups, all Environments 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). |

Services CI Type Summary
This table
lists
the health state of Services by CI Type. Each column is a CI Type and each row is a Service.
For each Service in a selected Group, a circular indicator
shows the current maximum Alert Severity of all the CIs associated with
each CI Type:
|
One
or more alerts
associated with the
CI Type
exceeded
their critical threshold. |
|
One
or more alerts
associated with the
CI Type
exceeded
their warning threshold. |
|
No alerts
associated with the
CI Type
have exceeded
their threshold. |
|
There are no CIs associated with the CI
Type. |
The cell background color shows the current maximum Alert Impact of all
the CIs associated with the Service and CI Type.
The
Alert
Impact
is calculated for each
CI, which is the
product of the CI
Criticality times the current maximum Alert Severity. Background
colors range from green to red, green being the lowest possible alert impact and
red the highest possible value.
In the following figure is a list of Services
showing
the highest severity and alert impact for each CI Type. For example, the first
five Services in the list have an alert condition due to a BW Engine problem,
but additionally the INVENTORY MANAGER Service has a Tibco EMS Server problem.
The All CI Types column shows the global highest level for all
CI Types.

Use the drop-down menus to
filter data shown in the table: a different Owner, a different Area,
all Groups
or a single Group,
all
Environments or a single Environment. Select a row in the table to

of Services currently listed in the table. |
|
Service Name |

associated with the Service. |

Services History Heatmap
View
history heatmap of alert states, over time,
for Services
in one Area, filtered by Group
and
Environment.
The
history
heatmap displays Services
from one or more Groups
and Environments of a given Owner and Area.
Each row in the heatmap represents a different
Service. The row color shows the Alert Impact or Alert Severity
of a
Service across time.
Mouse-over each row to see the time of alert state changes for particular
Service
occurred. For example, you can see at what time an alert state changed from
green to red. Each Metric (selected from the drop-down menu) has a color-coded
legend that maps relative values to colors.
Use the drop-down menus to
filter Services shown in the
history heatmap: a different Owner,
a different Area,
one or all Groups
or Environments, as
well as the alert Metric. By default, all Groups, all Environments and alert Impact are shown.
