Workspaces reference
AIX Premium Navigator item
The workspace descriptions are organized by the Navigator item to which the workspaces are relevant.
- Performance Object Status workspace
- This workspace reflects the status of other attribute groups so you can see the status of all of the performance objects that make up this application all at once. Each of these other performance attribute groups is represented by a row in this table or other type of view. The status for an attribute group reflects the result of the last attempt to collect data for that attribute group, which allows you to see whether the agent is performing correctly. Unlike other attribute groups, the Performance Object Status attribute group does not reflect the state of the monitored application. The Performance Object Status attribute group is most often used to determine why data does not seem to be available for one of the other performance attribute groups.
