Unicenter MP provides access to the eHealth suite of products so that you can monitor the performance of eHealth objects and generate reports. The eHealth Suite delivers comprehensive fault, availability, and performance management across complex, heterogeneous systems and application environments. eHealth collects a wide variety of data from your network infrastructure to generate alarms and reports.
From Unicenter MP you can access the following features of eHealth:
Provides a high-level view of the availability and performance of business services across an organization. The eHealth Business Service Console (BSC) is a Web-based tool that offers customized business views, immediate notification of performance problems, and drill-down capability for fault resolution. You can access the BSC in Unicenter MP from the knowledge tree or the Alert Console.
Shows a minimized view of the Business Service Console in the corner of your desktop. The BSC Ticker provides a subset of the hierarchy represented in the BSC and easily expands to show the full console. If a performance problem occurs, an acknowledgement indicator shows whether someone is working to resolve it, and a duration indicator shows how long the object has been in the current state of red or yellow. You can access the BSC Ticker in Unicenter MP from the knowledge tree.
Shows all reports that have been generated on the eHealth system. Access the eHealth Report List in Unicenter MP from the knowledge tree or from the Alert Console (for a specific alarm). The Report List is part of the eHealth Web Interface, which provides access to reports and applications through Web browsers on local systems. When you open the Report List, you can also view other areas of the eHealth Web Interface.
Show the overall performance of an eHealth object for a specified time period. The reports consist of several charts that display different performance statistics on one page. You can access At-a-Glance reports in Unicenter MP for WorldView Topology and DSM from the Portal Explorer and for alerts that represent eHealth alarms from the Alert Console.
Show the availability and performance history over time of an eHealth object that caused an alarm to be generated. You can access Alarm Detail reports in Unicenter MP from Portal Explorer or the Alert Console.
Plot a variable for an object over a period of time in chart form. Trend reports can also show variables for groups of objects. The reports can reveal patterns over time and relationships between objects and between variables. The available Trend reports are Availability, Bandwidth, and Error, depending on the type of managed object. You can access Trend Reports in Unicenter MP for WorldView Topology and DSM objects from the Portal Explorer.
Create Alert Management System alerts in Unicenter MP automatically, based on policy that you deploy. When alarms are closed in eHealth, the associated alerts are closed. Likewise, if an alert associated with an eHealth alarm is closed through AMS, the alarm is also closed. Access alerts representing eHealth alarms and netHealth exceptions in Unicenter MP from the Alert Console.
Unicenter MP also offers single sign on capability with Embedded Entitlements Manager (EEM) security. When you enable EEM security in Unicenter MP, you do not have to enter credentials to access eHealth features.
