Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |
|
Available Components
Components from different applications can be added to My Workspace pages. The following section describes the available OMi components. For user interface details, see Component Gallery Dialog Box.
Note To access components from an application, you must have a license for that application.
Some components are also available as predefined pages. For details, see Predefined Pages.
Component Name |
Description |
---|---|
Actions |
Displays a list of the Actions (Tools, Run Books, Custom Actions, and Performance Dashboards) applicable to a selected event, its related CI, or the node that hosts the CI. For details, see Use the Actions pane. |
Event Browser |
Displays a summary of all the events that have occurred in the operating environment you are monitoring. For details, see Event Perspective. |
Event Browser with Details |
Displays a summary of all the events that have occurred in the operating environment you are monitoring, together with the Details pane that displays detailed information about the selected event. For details, see Event Perspective. |
Event Details |
Displays detailed information about the selected event in a dedicated pane below the Event Browser or as a popup window. For details, see Event Perspective. |
Event Browser (HTML) | Displays a summary of all active events that have occurred in the operating environment you are monitoring. For details, see Use the Event Browser (HTML). |
Monitoring Dashboard |
Enables you to select a Monitoring Dashboard configuration that displays a summary of events that match an event filter or that are related to the configuration items included in a referenced view. Monitoring Dashboards display status information using different types of widgets (for example, stack and pie widgets). For details, see Monitoring Dashboard. |
ROI Dashboard |
The Return on Investment Dashboard displays the proportion of events received by OMi that have been automatically handled against those that required intervention by operators. The higher the proportion of automatically handled events, the greater the contribution OMi is making to the management of your infrastructure. If the cost of manually handling a typical event is known, this value can be entered into OMi, based on which, the total cost saving achieved through OMi can be displayed. These statistics can be displayed for any specified time period within which OMi has been monitoring your IT environment. For details, see Return On Investment Dashboard. |

Discover OMi |
Enables you to explore OMi step-by-step, following predefined paths and learning OMi features along the way. The map begins with an interactive tutorial. Each step offers built-in information as well as links to additional resources, for example, the related UI page, online help, or videos. Discover OMi tracks your progress so that you are aware of the areas you have already visited. Note that progress is stored locally, and that deleting browser cookies (or clicking Reset States within the map) will delete your progress. |
CI Explorer | Enables you to search for CIs based on their CI type.This component is used for browsing CIs and is especially useful when browsing through CIs that belong to different views. It enables you to search directly for the CIs without switching between these views. For more information, see Browse CIs with the CI Explorer. |
To access the NNMi components, you must have the appropriate licenses installed. NNMi components are only displayed if you have configured a connection to an NNM server in Infrastructure Settings:
Administration > Setup and Maintenance > Infrastructure Settings
Alternatively, click Infrastructure Settings.
Select Foundations > Integrations with other applications > HPE NNMi.
Wiring between NNMi and OMi components is enabled only if an NNMi-OMi integration has been implemented. For details on integrations, see the OMi section in the Integrations tab in the HP Software Integrations site.
Tip If you customize an NNMi node group map and export that customized map to a URL, you can then add the URL as an external component to My Workspace. For details, see Create an external component.
