Section	Description
Summary	The Summary section displays the name of the Exalogic system, description or name of the system identifier, number of racks that are part of the system, and also the number of unassigned incidents. The Unassigned Incidents icon in the summary pane includes incidents resulting from hardware faults. The three icons depict Critical Incidents, Warnings, and Information Incidents respectively. These incidents are from the assets that belong to all Exalogic racks.
Membership Graph	The Membership Graph pane displays the Exalogic system as a hierarchy of its components. It shows the relationship between the OVM Manager, physical InfiniBand fabric, and the hardware that is grouped in the rack. You can instantly navigate to any asset by double clicking on the asset in the membership graph. Using the controls on the top right of the graphic pane, you can change the view of the graph to either a horizontal or a vertical orientation. You can also refresh the view by clicking the Refresh icon. You can also change the graph depths or size of the images.
Status	The Status Pane displays the total unassigned incidents in chart format as well as the recent incidents encountered by the Exalogic system. In the Recent Incidents section, the following details are displayed: Severity - displays the severity of the incident State - displays the state of the incident ID - displays the incident ID Description - displays the incident description Source - displays the source of the incident Owner - displays the name of the owner who reported the incident Creation Date - displays the date on which the incident was created
