Context Page Navigation

You can frequently access more information about individual managed items from dashboards. Most dashboards are composed of views of summary data, such as hourly rollups or averages from a group of items. If additional data is available from the data source, you can click linked items on the dashboard page to drill down into context pages.

Note: The role right to Drill into Views is required.

The views on context pages show filtered data from a narrow context, such as a view of data from a single managed item. Use the links to drill down into specific data and home in on the source of a performance problem.

In data views from some data sources, you can also right-click the name of an item in a table view to access a menu. For example, right-click the link that corresponds to an item name in the Inventory section. A menu lets you select a related context page, containing more granular data.

Finally, some context pages include tabs to additional pages of detailed data. Click a tab to see data that has been filtered by a selected managed item or type of item.
