As an administrator or an operator, you set preferences that affect how the Operations Console displays information. You can specify such things as which columns to display on the Alerts tab, the default filter to use for viewing all alerts, and whether to add subcomponents to a service you are creating. Administrators can set preferences for either the logged in user only or for all users in a specified user group. An administrator can also lock a user group from changing any preference.
You can set the following preferences. The set preferences dialog provides more details about the preferences available for each tab.
Lets you set a global filter for all displayed alerts; specify whether a popup opens and a beep sound occurs for new alerts; control column order, the columns displayed, sort order of data in columns, and font; indicate whether a confirmation dialog opens when alerts are cleared (closed); and indicate whether the available ticket actions dialog displays when submitting a ticket.
Lets you set the maximum number of audit entries the Auditor retrieves.
Lets you specify the default font for Information panes and tables; indicate the region used to format dates, times, and numbers; select an overall look other than the system default; specify the amount of scrollbar adjustment after a click of a scrollbar arrow; indicate whether the time format is 12-hour or 24-hour; select Coordinated Universal Time (UCT) instead of the default local system time zone; and specify the number of seconds that the cursor hovers over a button, field, or other component before a tooltip appears.
Lets you specify the columns displayed, sort order of data in columns, and font.
Lets you set the maximum number of results returned and if only monitored objects are searched in the Locator dialog.
For more information, see Search for Objects Using the Locator.
Lets you set values for the Service Modeler window, which is where you create and edit services. You can specify the confirmation and other dialogs to display, the default display and layout style, the default values for new items added, whether to retain the previous settings when performing various actions, whether automatic policy maintenance is active, and whether to add sub-components when adding a parent object to a service.
Lets you set display options for Service Discovery confirmation dialogs including warning dialogs.
Lets you specify a maximum number of elements to display and whether a warning opens if the limit is exceeded; control the columns displayed, sort order of data in columns, and font; control whether drag-and-drop of items in the Services tab is allowed and if a confirmation dialog displays; and specify how items are displayed when the Operations Console opens.
Lets you set values for the Topology tab in the Contents pane of the Operations Console. Some preferences are the same as for the Service Modeler because they both have a Topology view. You can specify the confirmation dialogs to display, the layout for imported services, and whether to retain the previous interface settings.
For more information, see Navigate the Topology View.
Lets you change the logo at the upper left corner of the browser interface, which has the Dashboard and Administration tabs. Changing the logo is useful for customers who want to display their own logo.
Follow these steps:
Note: An alternative method is to click a plus (+) button to display a list of available preferences in the left pane.
Most preferences take effect immediately. The following preferences, however, require a restart of the Operations Console:
The preference change takes effect for the logged in user or the selected user group.
