Workspaces reference
A workspace is the working area of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal application window. The Navigator tree contains a list of the workspaces provided by the agent.
About workspaces
Use the Navigator tree to select the workspace you want to see. As part of the application window, the status bar shows the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server name and port number to which the displayed information applies and the ID 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. You can also use the Workspace Gallery tool as described in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide to open workspaces.
The workspaces in the Navigator are displayed in a Physical view that shows the 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.
The IBM Tivoli Agentless Monitoring for Solaris Operating Systems provides various default workspaces. These workspaces are displayed in the Navigator tree under the following nodes and subnodes for this monitoring agent:
- Agentless Solaris OS (R6 node)
- Corresponds to a Agentless Solaris OS instance and contains agent instance-level workspaces.
- CIM Solaris Systems (CIM subnode)
- Each node is an individual server.
- Sun Management Center Systems (SMC subnode)
- Each node is an individual server.
- System Management Agent Systems (SMA subnode)
- Each node is an individual server.
When multiple instances of the monitoring agent are defined on a system, the top-level node becomes Agentless Solaris OS. The Agentless Solaris OS workspace is undefined at this node. A node for each instance is created called Instance:Hostname:R6. A workspace that is called Instance:Hostname:R6 is associated with the instance node. This workspace is comparable to the Agentless Solaris OS workspace.
Workspace views can be any combination of query-based views, event views, and special purpose views.
Additional information about workspaces
For more information about creating, customizing, and working with workspaces, see "Using workspaces" in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide.
For a list of the predefined workspaces for this monitoring agent and a description of each workspace, see Predefined workspaces and the information about each individual workspace.
Some attribute groups for this monitoring agent might not be represented in the predefined workspaces or views for this agent. For a full list of the attribute groups, see Attribute groups for the monitoring agent.
If you are using remote management to navigate to your systems in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, navigate from the host name of the computer where you installed the agent.
- Predefined workspaces
The Agentless Monitor for Solaris provides predefined workspaces, which are organized by Navigator item.
- Workspace descriptions
Each workspace description provides information about the workspace such as the purpose and a list of views in the workspace.
