Detailed view of a Host Group

The Host Group Detail View provides the user with relevant and up-to-date information on each group registered in the Realm, in order to know and deepen the availability situation of the logical grouping at that moment.

Remember

Although a Host Group itself does not have its own availability status, the system proceeds to determine and assign an overall status according to the percentage of Hosts that are members of the group that are active (Up).

The following monitoring state calculation method is implemented:

  • If more than 66% of the member Hosts are in Up, it is considered a Up state.

  • If between 33 % and 66 % of the member Hosts are in Up, it is considered a Unreachable state.

  • If less than 33% of the member Hosts are in Up, it is considered a Down state.

  • If finally there are no member Hosts in Up, a Pending state is considered.

This view is displayed in a pop-up window that is positioned in front of the tab the user is in and is accessible from different parts of the tool.

The different sections of the view are described below:

Status

The Status tab provides accurate and up-to-date information on the functional status of the Host Group in question.

The view is organised into six information panels:

HostGroup Host Overview Panel

Ring chart representing the proportion or percentage of the total of each of the monitoring statuses, which are recorded by the member Hosts of the group.

It includes the total number of constituent hosts (value indicated inside), accompanied by a legend grouping the different statuses, plus the total number of elements that reach it.

../../_images/2_087a_aggregator_realm_assets_modal-hg-overview-host_0-48.jpg

You can see the data plotted on the graph by hovering the cursor over one of the portions. A pop-up message with the monitoring status will be displayed, followed by the exact percentage value it represents.

Note

Each monitoring status is associated with an identifying colour. More information can be found at: Statements of Assets in WOCU.

HostGroup Service Overview Panel

Ring chart representing the proportion or percentage of the total of each of the monitoring statuses recorded by the Services associated with the member Hosts of the group.

It includes the total number of Services (value indicated inside), accompanied by a legend grouping the different states, plus the total number of elements that reach it.

../../_images/2_087b_aggregator_realm_assets_modal-hg-overview-service_0-48.jpg

You can see the data plotted on the graph by hovering the cursor over one of the portions. A pop-up message with the monitoring status will be displayed, followed by the exact percentage value it represents.

HostGroup Recent Problems Panel

This panel provides a summary of the latest issues detected in the Host Group under analysis.

Through a tabular format, for each entry/indication, the following is determined: its nature (column Problem), the icon representing the status assigned by the system, followed by a brief description of the circumstances of the incident (column Output) and the time the problem has been active since the last check (Duration).

HostGroup Top Problematics Hosts Panel

This panel provides a ranking of the Hosts that are members of the group that have generated the most alarms, and therefore the most problematic of the group.

Hosts are sorted in order of highest to lowest number of occurrences (column TopHost). The counted data is preceded by a percentage bar (column Hard Problems).

HostGroup Host Availability Panel

This panel shows graphically the percentage of availability obtained (calculated by the system), of the set of Hosts that are part of the group under analysis.

The area covered in green represents the percentage of availability achieved. Inside the graph the percentage availability value is specified followed by the Threshold predefined.

Depending on the compliance or non-compliance with the established minimum Threshold (indicated on the graph by a dashed line), it will be placed in front of the percentage:

  • ✓ in green: when availability exceeds the set value.

  • X in red: when it is below the set value.

HostGroup Service Availability Panel

This panel shows graphically the percentage of availability obtained (calculated by the system), of the set of Services associated to the Hosts that are part of the group under analysis.

The area covered in green represents the percentage of availability reached. The percentage availability value is specified inside the graph, followed by the predefined Threshold.

Depending on the compliance or non-compliance with the established minimum Threshold (indicated on the graph by a dashed line), it will be placed in front of the percentage:

  • ✓ in green: when availability exceeds the set value.

  • X in red: when it is below the set value.

Hosts

The Hosts tab contains the complete list of Hosts that make up the Host Group in question.

Further complementary data is provided for each Member Facility:

✓ Type

This field contains an icon identifying the type of Host according to its nature. The possible options are:

  • Hosts: are identified with the house icon.

    ../../_images/2_030c_aggregator_realm_assets_hosts-logo_0-36.jpg

  • Business Process Hosts: are identified with the icon of the house framed in a circle.

    ../../_images/2_030d_aggregator_realm_assets_bphost-logo_0-36.jpg
✓ Name

Record the identifier term of the Host member of the group.

✓ Status

Records the current operational status of the Host. More information on the possible availability statuses can be found in the following:ref:link <status>.

✓ Last Check

Records the date of the last operational status check performed on the Host.

✓ Next Check

Indicates when the next operational status check of the Host will be performed.

✓ Status Information

Contains the response obtained after the check operation carried out by the system.

✓ Services %/OK/Total

Provides a summary of the status of the Services associated with the Host. The percentage text varies in colour depending on whether the Services are more or less available:

  • Green with all Services in OK state

  • Red with all Services in Critical state

  • Yellow if at least one Service has a status other than OK.

Numerical data is used to indicate to the user the percentage of Services in correct operation (OK Status) and in brackets the specific number of services in OK Status out of the total number of Services.

Important

In large lists, it is recommended to use the search action integrated in the view, in order to quickly locate the element consulted. This action performs a simple search without making any changes to the table.
