Predefined Pages

The Workspaces area of OMi comes out-of-the-box with a number of predefined pages. You can open these pages using the Page Selector drop-down list on the toolbar, or using the Page Gallery button.

You can also create custom pages using components of your choice. For details on how to work with My Workspace pages and components, see Set up My Workspace.

Some pages have a single component with a built-in view selector; others have multiple components where one component is used to select views or CIs for the other components. For details on each of the components, see Available Components.

The following are the predefined pages within My Workspace.

Note You can only access pages for which you have permissions, as described in Define user permissions in Workspaces.

Description

Dashboards
360° View

Displays comprehensive data about a selected CI in one central location. The 360° View contains the Hierarchy component which provides KPI data about the CIs in a selected view. If you select a CI within the Hierarchy component, you can see its detail links. When you click the detail links, you can access the following components: Business Impact, Health Indicators, Alerts, and Changes and Incidents. For details, see 360° View.

KPI Over Time

The KPI Over Time dashboard enables you to view the statuses and status summaries of selected KPIs and CIs over time. The dashboard lets you choose from a number of widgets to survey historical KPI status data and the health of the monitored environment at a glance. For details, see KPI Over Time Dashboard.

Monitoring Dashboard

Monitoring Dashboards provide an at-a-glance overview of the events from the environment you are monitoring. Monitoring Dashboards enable you to quickly assess the health of the environment and to identify areas that require your attention. 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.

Operations Console
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.
