How You Customize the Graphical Monitor

To customize the graphical monitor, you define resource groups, icons, and icon panels. You arrange icons on icon panels and attach resource groups to the icons so that each icon on the panel represents a group of resources. After you generate an icon panel, an operator can use that panel to customize the graphical monitor.

You generate an icon panel as follows:

1. Define the required resource groups.
2. Define the icons to use on an icon panel.
3. Define the icon panel.
4. Place the defined icons on the panel and attach resource groups to them.

When you save a resource group, icon, or icon panel definition, or generate an icon panel description file, it propagates to all the connected regions. That is, the definition of the generated icon panel is global.
