Monitors and DVGs

The events displayed on the Completed Process Activity, Queued Process Activity, Active Alerts, and Handled Alerts Monitors might be filtered by data visibility groups (DVGs).

The DVG values for an event can be displayed by using the optional Data Visibility Group column in each of the monitors. A non DVG-restricted user can view all events (with sufficient “view” authority). DVG-restricted users can view only events tagged with a DVG for which they have access (and sufficient “view” authority).

The following table describes the information displayed in the monitors based on whether a user is DVG restricted:

Monitor Non DVG-Restricted User DVG Restricted User
Completed Process Activity
  • Sees all processes regardless of any DVG tags on the events that comprise the process.
  • Sees a process if any event that makes up the process is tagged with a DVG that the user has authority to.
  • Will only be able to select statistics for the event types tagged with the DVGs the user has authority to.
Queued Process Activity
  • Sees all processes regardless of any DVG tags on the events that comprise the process.
  • Sees a process only if a DVG that the user is restricted to is on one of the queued process steps.
    Tip: The process will be listed on the monitor when the step that the user has visibility to starts. The process remains on the monitor until the process ends.
Server Status Monitor
  • Sees counts of all alerts
  • Sees only the counts for the alerts that match the user's DVG restriction.
