CVS Dashboard - Monitor

The CVS Dashboard opens with the Monitor tab active.

You can add many monitors to run in one or many services. A service contains one or more monitors.

You can schedule to run a service. All monitors in that service are run at the scheduled time. The services are run in the background at scheduled intervals.

You can either add the monitors in one service (in the following example, Service1) or add the monitors in different services (in the following example, Service1 and AllTestsSuite). All the monitors added in one service (for example, Service1) are shown added after that service name.

Top Panel

All the tests in a specific service that have run are shown with a colored ball:

• Green: Completed tests.
• Red: Failed tests.
• Yellow: Tests that had an error in their staging documents.

The icons show the Test Run Completion, Failure, Error, Staging Error, or Unknown Error. These icons show the state of the monitor after it has run.

At the right side, the top panel shows a graphical representation of the jobs that are currently running. For example, the following graph shows one job currently running.

Bottom Panel

The bottom panel displays the status of each monitor that is run in a service.

The bottom panel shows all the monitors that are running or have finished their last run. The monitors that have finished running completely (are not scheduled to run again) do not display in this list.

The table shows the following information:

• Monitor Name: The name that is given to the monitor
• Running: Shows whether this monitor is running (true/false)
• Active: Shows whether this monitor is Active (true/false)
• Documents: The names of the documents, such as test case, staging, and suite documents that are associated with this monitor
• Last Run: The last run date and time of this monitor
• Next Run: The next scheduled start time of this monitor
• Timing: The schedule details for this monitor

You can customize the columns by arranging them in sorted order or by showing or hiding the columns.

To see the monitor-related information, double-click a monitor.

Toolbar

The Toolbar tab includes a toolbar with the following buttons:

• Re/Deploy Monitor: Deploy or redeploy a monitor to the dashboard. See Deploy a Monitor to CVS.
• View Monitor Attributes: View monitor-related information.
• Delete Monitor: Delete a monitor from the dashboard.
• Run Monitor Immediately: Run the monitor immediately.
• Deactivate: Click to deactivate the monitor. Deactivate means it remains in the list, but does not run. You can also click this button to reactivate a previously deactivated monitor.
• View Results: Click to view the results of the run in the Report Viewer.

When you are running the CVS Dashboard directly from DevTest Workstation (by selecting to view the dashboard from DevTest), you also see the following buttons:

• Refreshes the list on the dashboard
• Auto refreshes the list on the dashboard after a specific period.

When you run the CVS Dashboard directly from your browser, these buttons do not appear.
