The Dashboard lets you monitor key functions in your data center, including system status, data center utilization, provisioning, and policy.
Displays the number of systems currently in each state in a summary pie chart.
Indicates that the system is not in an optimal state. For example, it can be reporting recoverable errors.
Indicates that the product is imaging or provisioning computers in this state.
Indicates that the product cannot determine the state.
Indicates that the product can collect information from the resources in this state.
Indicates that some or all of the resource is degraded, or that the resource is not functioning and recovery is not possible.
Note: The resource icon in the Explore pane of other pages also indicates the Problem state.
Lists all defined services that are monitored, their use (as a percentage), and a severity state. Services are systems that are grouped to perform a logical function (typically, a business process such as an online banking service).
If you click a service, the view changes to the Policy page, which displays a summary of the use for the group and provides access to tasks you can perform for the group.
Displays the status of the product services. When you click the status message, the view changes to display the Administration page and the Configuration panel, on which you can review the status of individual CA Virtual Assurance services. If a component is not running or fails, the icon appears as a red X and the panel displays how many services are down.
Displays the status of the SystemEDGE machines. The Machines Status filter can display by severity, monitor (local, remote, or both), and machine name.
Displays the status of the SystemEDGE objects. The Objects Status filter can display by severity, monitor (local, remote, or both), and substring.
Displays a graphical representation of the systems in your Data Center and their utilization history as an aggregate of CPU and memory usage for the specified time range. Click the time range for which you want to display the history: one hour (1h), two hours (2h), six hours (6h), 12 hours (12h), one day (1d), one week (1wk), two weeks (2wks), or one month (1mo).
Displays a table that lists the most recent events that have occurred on the monitored systems. Click Apply to refresh the table.
The Events filter lets you search for or filter the Events list. Enter a description or select items in the filter, and click Apply.
The Events filter uses the following fields:
Displays events that contain the specified text.
Displays events that match the entity type selected from the drop-down list (servers or services).
Displays events generated for the operating system selected from the drop-down list.
Note: Select Other to display events for operating systems that are not known to the product.
Specifies a start date based on the event time stamp. Click the calendar to select the date.
Specifies an end date based on the event time stamp. Click the calendar to select the date.
Displays events generated for the component type selected from the drop-down list.
DataCenter Utilization portal to provide quick access to common system functions.
Displays provisioning data, including Agent Deployment (deployment tasks and task status, packages, and jobs).
Displays data for policy components, including use by service (policy performance) and policy types.
Displays results of several functions (for example, discovery, change detection, running profiles, and others). Select a job, click the Action button, and then the View Details option to see a detailed table with results.
Displays the Community Access portal to Provide Feedback and to access CA Support.
Portlets for virtual resources are provided to keep track of various top and bottom utilization parameters such as CPU, RAM, and disk utilization. You can access these using the Dashboard or the Analytics subtab on the Resources tab.
Note: These portlets are available for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V management only.
