Using a sophisticated algorithm, WorldView determines the importance of each managed object in your network. Letting you view the importance of each managed object in your network helps you better analyze your network by giving you a better view of the health of your IT infrastructure. For example, importance lets you quickly and easily distinguish between a printer that has a critical severity because it is out of toner and a critical server that processes your payroll.
Importance is calculated using the weight and severity levels of child and parent objects in your network. The importance of an object increases when the propagated weighted severity of one of its child objects increases. You can set the weight of each object in your network, or you can use the default weight that is preset for each managed object class.
After WorldView calculates the importance of an object, the following thresholds determine what color is used to display the object in Maximum Importance view:
You can change the default thresholds by editing the wvapiwrap.cfg file. On Windows, this file is located in the install_path\CA\SharedComponents\CCS\WVEM\CONFIG directory. On UNIX/Linux, this file is located in the $CASHCOMP/ccs/wv/config directory.
These thresholds map to the severity levels for the purposes of displaying the colors that represent the different levels of importance in the Management Command Center. These same colors associated with the six levels of severity are used for importance:
