Viewing services and resource details

You can view a list of your services or details about them (such as their constituent resource groups and resources) on the Resource management dashboard. From there, you can edit them or render them as topology views.

Before you begin

In order to view a list of services, you must first have services defined. For more information, see Defining and editing services.

Procedure

  1. Open the Resource management dashboard from the Home page, or from the main navigation menu.
  2. View and manage defined services, resource groups, or resources.
    From the Resource management page, you can view key details about each service, view a list of favorite services or set them as favorites, assign predefined business criticality values, and select to open a service page for each service to define, view, and manage the service.
    Search: You can search for a specific service, resource group or resource.
    Define service: This opens a new page to define a service from the available resource groups and resources.
    Assign criticality: This lets you assign a predefined business criticality to a service, resource group or resource.

    On the Resource management page, services, resource groups and resources are presented on separate tabs. In addition, the dashboard is divided into All service results and Favorites sections. You can display favorite services and resource groups either as cards or in a table. Resources are always displayed in a table, and cannot be designated as favorites.

    Card view
    Summary cards display the name, icon, status, and tags for each of the services or resource groups that you have designated as a favorite.
    For services, you can click View topology to render a topology view, or use the overflow menu to deselect favorite status, edit or delete the service, or assign a predefined business criticality value.
    For resource groups, you can click View topology to render a topology view, or use the overflow menu to deselect favorite status or assign a predefined business criticality value.
    Table view
    For services, the table columns display the name, icon, status, tags, business criticality, and number of resource groups for each of the services. You can click the service name to render a topology view, use the heart icon to select it as a favorite, or use the overflow menu to edit or delete the service, or assign a business criticality.
    For resource groups, the table columns display the name, icon, type, status, tags, business criticality and number of resources for each of the resource groups. You can click the resource group name to render a topology view, select the heart icon to designate it as a favorite, or use the overflow menu to assign a business criticality.
    Tip: When viewing a service or resource group as a topology, you can click Tabular view to display the topology in table format instead. From here, you have access to additional information and can perform a number of tasks.
    Resources
    The Resources tab lists the available resources in a table format.
    To include deleted resources, use the Include deleted resources toggle.
    Table columns display the name, icon, status, type, tags and business criticality for a resource. You can click the resource name to render a topology view, click More details to open the Resource details window, or click Assign criticality from the overflow menu to assign a predefined business criticality.

What to do next

From the Resource management dashboard, you can designate services and resource groups as favorites, edit a service, view more details for a resource, or open topology (or tabular) views for your services, resource groups or resources.
