Workspaces reference
A workspace is the working area in which the monitoring data collected by the Cloud Pak System Software Agent is presented. The Navigator tree that is displayed at the left of the workspace contains a list of the workspaces provided by the Cloud Pak System Software Agent.
About workspaces
Use the Navigator tree that is displayed at the left of the workspace to select the workspace you want to see. As part of the application window, the right side of the status bar shows the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Server name and port number to which the displayed information applies and the identifier of the current user.
When you select an item in the Navigator tree, a default workspace is displayed. When you right-click a Navigator item, a menu that includes a Workspace item is displayed. The Workspace item contains a list of workspaces for that Navigator item. Each workspace has at least one view. Some views have links to other workspaces.
The workspaces in the Navigator are displayed in a Physical view that shows your enterprise as a physical mapping or a dynamically populated logical view that is agent-specific. You can also create a Logical view. The Physical view is the default view.
This monitoring agent provides predefined workspaces. You cannot modify or delete the predefined workspaces, but you can create new workspaces by editing them and saving the changes with a different name.
- Cloud Pak System Software (Q8 node)
- Corresponds to a Cloud Pak System Software instance and contains agent instance-level workspaces.
- Deployments (DPS subnode)
- This subnode provides detailed information about all the deployments in Cloud Pak System Software.
When multiple instances of the monitoring agent are defined on a system, the top-level node becomes Cloud Pak System Software. The Cloud Pak System Software workspace is undefined at this node. A subnode for each instance is created and called Q8:Instance-UserID:DPS. A workspace that is called Instance: :Q8 is associated with the instance node. This workspace is comparable to the Cloud Pak System Software workspace.
Workspace views can be any combination of query-based views, event views, and special purpose views.
