Use the Linux managed system dashboard to get
a status overview of situation events and to see system details.
After
you select the Linux OS managed system link from the Managed System
Group dashboard or from the Situation Events dashboard's Source column,
the Linux managed system dashboard is displayed.
The dashboard has an Overview tab
where you can see overview charts of key performance indicators and
a Situations Events table of open events for the selected managed
system, and a Process tab showing current process
utilization information in bar charts and a Process Table. (See also Page layout and controls.)
Overview tab
- CPU Utilization (%) - Top 5
- Shown here is a bar for each of the five processes that use the highest percentage of CPU on the selected managed system. If CPU usage is high, it is likely that one or more of these processes is responsible.
- Memory Utilization (%) - Top 5
- This bar chart shows the five processes that use the highest percentage of memory on the selected managed system.
- Disk Utilization (%)
- Shown here is a bar for each of the five processes that consume the highest percentage of disk space compared with the space allocated to them. If disk allocation is high, consider increasing the allocated space.
- Situation Event Count by Severity
- The total number of Fatal, Critical, Warning, Harmless, Informational, and Unknown events that are opened for the managed system, one bar for each severity.
- Network Utilization (Packets/Second) - Top 5
- Shown here are the five network interface adapters that send and receive the most packets per second. From this stacked bar chart, you can see where the most traffic occurs and how efficient the load balancing is.
- Situation Events
- The situation events for the managed system and their status are displayed, sorted by the events with the highest severity first, and refreshed as new events arrive.
- You can click
Pause
updates to temporarily stop automatic refresh as new events
are opened; click 
to resume. - The toolbar shows a count of events for
each severity. Click one or more of the tools to filter the list by
event severity or status. For example, you can filter the list to
show only open events with a severity of fatal or critical.
Show fatal events
Show critical events
Show warning events
Show harmless events
Show informational events
Show unknown events
Show open status
Show acknowledged status
Show stopped status
Show problem status
Show
expired status (acknowledgement expired and the situation is still
true)
- Use the filter field to locate a situation by its name, display item, type or timestamp. See also Table controls.
- Click a hypertext link in the Situation Name column to open a dashboard of event details and expert advice. See Displaying situation event results for a description of the event dashboard.
Process tab
The Process tab gives key values related to the Linux processes running on the managed system.- Process CPU (%) Utilization - Top 5
- Shown here are the five processes that use the most CPU compared with the space allocated to them. If process allocation is high, consider increasing the allocated space.
- Process + Child CPU (%) Utilization - Top 5
- Shown here are the five processes and child processes that use the most CPU compared with the space allocated to them. If process allocation is high, consider increasing the allocated space.
- CPU Utilization (%) - Top 5
- Shown here is a bar for each of the five processes that use the highest percentage of CPU on the selected managed system. If CPU usage is high, it is likely that one or more of these processes is responsible.
- Memory Utilization (%) - Top 5
- This bar chart shows the five processes that use the highest percentage of memory on the selected managed system.
- Process Table
- The Process Table shows process metrics for the selected managed system, one row per process, with the number of megabytes used compared with what was allocated, expressed as CPU percentage. The CPU percentage columns (System CPU, User CPU, Cumulative System CPU, and Cumulative User CPU) provide a linear gauge for quickly identifying high CPU rates. The Command Line column shows the path and command that was issued to start the process.
