Chapter 6 Browser

This chapter describes the following topics:

Details View

The details view is a subset of the Domain view. The highest hierarchical object in a details view is the host machine or module object. For more information on module objects, see "To Create a Module Object". Unlike the administrative domain view, the details view enables you to see modules and the various monitored properties and statistics contained in the modules.

Using the Details Window

You can start the Details window from the main console window.

The Details window provides you with detailed information about that individual host. This window has several tab buttons, that may include the following:

Info
Browser
Alarms
View Log
Applications
Hardware

Note - The tab buttons that are displayed in the Details window are dependent on the type of object selected. In addition, the Hardware tab is missing if the Config-Reader module is not supported on your system. For additional information on the tabs for your specific hardware object, see your supplement.

Each tab button, as described in the following table, updates the window with a new panel consisting of information represented by that tab button.

Tab Button
Description

Info

Provides general information about the host including host name, IP address, polling type, and so on. This information is collected at the time the object is created.

Browser

Enables you to navigate through the hierarchy and contents views of the host, set alarm thresholds, and view and graph monitored data properties. This is the default view when the Details window opens.

Alarms

Displays the alarms for this host. Enables you to acknowledge or delete alarms.

Modules

Displays available modules, which modules are loaded, scheduled, and enabled, and whether the modules are multi-instance modules. Enables you to change the status of these module parameters.

View Log

Displays informational messages, including error messages, about your host. Enables you to search, monitor, and examine system, Sun Management Center, and other log messages.

Applications

Displays a list of applications. These applications include the processes running on the host (if the Solaris Process Details module is loaded) and other applications installed by the user. Depending on your licensing agreement, this tab also provides access to the Hardware Diagnostics Suite software. You can display the Hardware Diagnostic Suite online help text by selecting the Hardware Diagnostic Suite link, and then clicking the Help button.

Hardware

Displays hardware configuration information about your host for selected hardware platforms. Configuration information may include the physical and logical view of your host. If the hardware platform is not supported by the Config-Reader module, this tab button is missing in the Details window.
