What the workspace shows

The workspace contains three views:
TMS Infrastructure - Base

TMS Infrastructure - Base is a topological display of the Tivoli Management Services (TMS) components and their availability status. The Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal Server connects to the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, as does the data warehouse, the Summarization and Pruning agent, and any remote monitoring servers. See TMS Infrastructure view for a description of the view features and tools for manipulating the topology.

Users Logged on to TEPS

Users Logged on to TEPS is a table view of the users logged on to the portal server, with the IP address of the client computer and logon time stamp.

Managed Systems count per Managing System

This view is a bar chart showing a count of managed systems grouped by managing system. Also called through node, this is the parent system that collects data from the agent or subagent. If the agent is directly connected to the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, the hub monitoring server is the managing system; if the agent is connected to a remote monitoring server, then that is the managing system. An agent with subagents is the managing system for each subagent.
