Overview: Home

The Home screen provides an overview of all monitored Realms. This is also the usual starting point in WOCU-Monitoring when accessing its environment and the starting point for navigation between its different screens.

../../_images/2_010_aggregator_home-view_0-56.png

Remember

A Realm is a completely independent monitoring system, organised and managed by the system. Each Realm will have its own monitored assets, over which the tool will maintain in isolation: inventories, problems, event logging, metrics calculation, report generation, etc.

This screen is divided into the following main blocks:

Overview

This space displays, as a summary, a series of panels with numerical data and related information about monitored realms and assets.

../../_images/2_011_aggregator_home-view-top-summary_0-54.png

The following presents each of the panels:

Realms y checks

../../_images/2_011a_aggregator_home-view-realms-checks_0-61.png

Realms

Total number of independent monitoring systems (Realms) under WOCU-Monitoring.

Checks

Total number of checks performed by WOCU-Monitoring, i.e. the sum of all Hosts and Services.

Realms State

../../_images/2_011c_aggregator_home-view-realms_state_0-61.png

Panel with information about the current connectivity status of the realms managed in WOCU-Monitoring.

  • Connected: realms that are available and accessible to the user.

  • Disconnected: realms that are not responding despite beingconfigured, and therefore, are inaccessible to the user.

  • Deactivated: realms intentionally deactivated by the administrator.

The information is presented using two visual resources:

  • Pie chart: to visualize the proportion and quantity of realms that are in each of the possible connectivity states.

  • Percentage bar: to represent the percentage of realms in each of the possible connectivity states.

Count by asset type and monitoring status

../../_images/2_011b_aggregator_home-view-status-assets_0-61.png

A set of four panels, each associated with a type of monitored asset:

  • Hosts Status

  • BP Hosts Status

  • Services Status

  • BP Services Status

Each panel displays:

  • Total number of monitored elements of each type.

  • In separate blocks, the number of elements in each of the monitoring states defined by WOCU-Monitoring is recorded.

Summary

This view is divided into three widgets whose graphics illustrate the different typologies of realms (that are being managed in the system) and its connectivity.

../../_images/2_012_aggregator_home-view_summary_0-62.png

The following presents each of the panels:

Note

Those widgets are taken from Aggregator Summary.

Assets Overview

This space helps to quickly identify problems related to duplicate assets, deactivated checks and alarms registered in the system.

../../_images/2_012a_aggregator_home-view_assets_overview_0-62.png

The following presents each of the panels:

Total Assets

This widget provides a summary about asset duplication in the system. The parameters displayed are:

../../_images/2_012b_aggregator_home-view_total_assets_0-62.png
  • Hosts duplicated by name: indicates the number of duplicate devicesbased on his name.

  • Hosts duplicated by IP: indicates the number of duplicate devicesaccording to your IP address. According to the capture, 3 duplicates of a total of 145.

Each parameter includes two additional options:

Checks desactivated by time

This widget displays the assets (devices and services) in which themonitoring checks are disabled.organized according to a configurable time period (1 day, 7 days, 15days and 30 days).

../../_images/2_012c_aggregator_home-view_total_checks_desactivated_0-62.png
  • Hosts with checks disabled: number of devices that have the verifications disabled. In the previous image it is reported that 21 of 145 devices are in this condition.

  • Services with checks disabled: number of services with checks disabled. In this case, 11 out of 580 services are disabled.

The data displayed is organized according to a time periodconfigurable. The possible options are: 1 day, 7 days, 15 days and 30 days.

Each parameter includes two additional options:

  • Eye icon: Allows you to see a detailed breakdown of the assets whose checks are disabled. More information at: Hosts with checks disabled and Service with checks disabled.

  • Download icon: offers the possibility to export the list of duplicated to a CSV or JSON file for external analysis.

Alarms by time

This widget shows how many devices and services are spawningalarms in a configurable time period (1 day, 7 days, 15 days and 30 days).

../../_images/2_012d_aggregator_home-view_total_alarms_0-62.png
  • Hosts with alarms: number of devices with active alarms. In the Previous image reports 16 of 145 affected devices.

  • Services with alarms: number of services that have active alarms.In this example, 283 alarms are reported out of a total of 580 services.

The data displayed is organized according to a time periodconfigurable. The possible options are: 1 day, 7 days, 15 days and 30 days.

Each parameter includes two additional options:

  • Eye icon: Allows you to see a detailed breakdown of the assets whose checks are disabled.

  • Download icon: offers the possibility to export the list of duplicated to a CSV or JSON file for external analysis.

Packs

Top Packs

Through this bar graph the Packs of Monitoring with more presence and most used in WOCU-Monitoring. Each bar represents a Pack concrete and its size will vary according to its application in more or lessDevices.

In addition, each bar is accompanied by the Pack’s identifying icon or its name if not available.

../../_images/2_012e_aggregator_home-view_total_alarms_top_packs.png

Hosts Packs

In this donut chart a distinction is made between Devices with Monitoring Packs configured and those that are not.

Use the legend to identify each type of Device (with and without Packs applied). In addition, for each sector of the graph the percentage value and total figure, making it easy to identify and reading of it.

../../_images/2_012f_aggregator_home-view_total_alarms_hosts_packs.png

More information at: Hosts by Packs State with Packs configured.

Realms

In this block, a brief numerical summary is presented for each realm managed in WOCU-Monitoring, along with useful filters for screening the information according to various criteria, which are described below.

../../_images/2_013_aggregator_home-view-realms-list.png

Summary panels

Each Realm is identified through a series of attributes located at the top of each Summary Panel (from left to right):

../../_images/2_014_aggregator_home-view-panel-realms-detail_0-54.png

Customisable logo/image

On the far left, the logo is located, an element that helps the user visually identify each of the realms.

Identifier or name

The name helps define, give meaning to, and identify each of the monitored realms. Clicking on the identifier leads the user to the Status view.

../../_images/2_016_aggregator_home-view-panel-realms-link_0-54.png

Customisable colour label

It is an element used to categorize the different realms within WOCU-Monitoring. For this purpose, a series of categories are defined, each consisting of a description and a specific color, which are then assigned to the various realms.

Realm type icon

WOCU-Monitoring assigns an icon to identify the nature of the realm in question. More information about each type can be found at: Realms in WOCU.

In Realms based on Hosts Groups…

When one of the Host Groups that make up a Realm is out of service, the data related to it will be hidden in the panel, showing only the information of the groups that are operational. However, as a visual aid, the icon associated with this type of Realm will turn red to indicate that there are problems with one of the Host Groups.

../../_images/2_018a_aggregator_home-view-panel-hg-realm-icon-unavailable_0-36.png

Similarly, hovering the cursor over the icon displays a pop-up with information on the availability of the Realm’s Host Groups.

../../_images/2_018b_aggregator_home-view-panel-hg-realm-icon-message-unavailable_0-36.png

In case no Host Group is operational, this particular panel shall become inactive.

../../_images/2_018c_aggregator_home-view-panel-hg-realm-no-connectivity_0-36.png

In Multirealms…

Placing the cursor over the icon will display the Realms that make up the Multi-Realm (Available realms):

../../_images/2_019a_aggregator_home-view-multirealms-icon-message_0-36.png

Next, in a tabular format, the assets monitored by WOCU-Monitoring that belong to each Realm are presented. The total number of elements of each type will be indicated in parentheses next to the corresponding type.

For each type of asset (Hosts, BP Hosts, Services, and BP Services), it indicates how many of them are in one of the monitoring states defined by WOCU-Monitoring (Down/Critical, Warning, Unreachable/Unknown, Up/OK) and how many of them have been filtered (through the User preferences).

../../_images/2_014a_aggregator_home-view-panel-columns_0-61.png

Placing the cursor over the data in each row and column will give the count of information for each type of element:

../../_images/2_015_aggregator_home-view-panel-realms-message_0-54.png

Filters and sorting of summary panels

Filter by Realm type

To select which summary panels by realm will be displayed, according to the type of Realm, based on their typology: standard realms, multi-realms, and host group realms.

By default the selected option in this filter will be All realms, i.e. no WOCU-Monitoring realm will be filtered. Clicking on the button will display a menu that will allow you to select the type of realm you want to display, hiding the rest of the types in the view.

../../_images/2_020b_aggregator_home-view-filter-realms-type_0-36.png

Filter by connectivity

To restrict the display of summary panels of realms based on their connectivity and accessibility status.

The possible filtering options are

  • Show realms with connectivity: only living realms will be displayed,that is, all those that are available and accessible to the user.

../../_images/2_020c_aggregator_home-view-filter-alive-realms_0-36.png
  • Show all realms: all realms will be displayed without any distinction.

../../_images/2_020d_aggregator_home-view-filter-all-realms_0-36.png
  • Show realms without connectivity: only the realms that, although configured, do not respond will be displayed, i.e. all those that are without connectivity and are not accessible to the user. With this option we will be able to know which elements of the WOCU-Monitoring infrastructure are not up.

../../_images/2_020e_aggregator_home-view-filter-dead-realms_0-36.png

Sort Summary Panels by Realm

Through the Name, Problems, and Assets options, you can set the order in which WOCU-Monitoring displays the different realms (from highest to lowest and vice versa).

../../_images/2_020g_aggregator_home-view-order_0-36.png

Name

It allows you to organize the view of realms based on their identifier in alphabetical order.

Problems

Allows you to organise the realms view according to the number of Hosts Down hosts.

Assets

Allows you to organise the Realms view according to the number of elements that make up each Realm.

Attention

These filters will be enabled when all Realms summary panels are loaded in the interface.

Add a new Realm (+ New Realm)

WOCU-Monitoring provides the option to add new realms from the Overview: Home interface, so they can be part of the monitored technological infrastructure. To do this, you need to click on the blue button + New Realm.

../../_images/2_093_aggregator_home-view_add-new-realm_button_0-52.png

Once this action is selected, a pop-up window will appear with a form whose configuration fields have to be filled in manually by the user.

The process of configuring and filling in the fields and parameters of the registration form is described in detail in section Creation of Realms, distinguishing by type and nature of the Realm:

../../_images/2_093a_aggregator_home-view_add-new-realm_form_0-52.png

Attention

In the event that no monitoring Realm is configured in the tool, the + New Realm action will remain available to proceed with the creation of new Realms. To do so, you must be registered as an Administrator in the system.

Opciones de navegación y reorganización de widgets

A continuación, se describen las principales herramientas disponibles para una navegación eficiente:

Controlador de navegación

El controlador de navegación está ubicado de forma permanente en el lateral derecho de la interfaz. Esta herramienta interactiva incluye una serie de botones con iconos representativos de los distintos bloques que componen la vista Home.

Al hacer clic en cualquiera de estos botones, el sistema redirige automáticamente al usuario al bloque correspondiente. Esto es particularmente útil, ya que permite un acceso rápido y directo a la información deseada.

../../_images/2_020i_aggregator_home-view-filter_62.png

Ocultar/mostrar bloques de widgets

La interfaz permite una personalización adicional a través de la funcionalidad de ocultar o mostrar bloques de widgets, ajustando el espacio visible según las necesidades del usuario.

A través de la opción Hide, presente en la esquina superior derecha de cada bloque, es posible ocultar temporalmente un conjunto de widgets, liberando espacio en la vista y facilitando la visualización de los elementos restantes.

Para la restauración del bloque, será necesario hacer click nuevamente sobre el botón del controlador de navegación (mostrado ahora en un color más tenue) y el bloque volverá a mostrarse en la vista global.
