Service tiles |
Display the service name and instance counts for up to 3 instance status categories. For some services, a short display name of the service type is displayed. Services within the same entitlement have the same subscription ID and are displayed on the tile along with the description, if any. To change this description, click on the subscription ID and enter your text. You can also change the order of the tiles displayed on the dashboard. Hover over the tile, click the dots at the top of the tile, and drag the tile to the desired location on the dashboard. The display order of the tiles is remembered by the system, but, only for the services selected for display in the Customize Dashboard dialog box. Use the + or – icons to expand or collapse the tiles. A status icon indicates the state of the service. For example, a tick mark (in green) indicates that the service is in active state. Instance status is indicated by color:
If the count is zero for any instance status category, then its category is not displayed on the tile. Hover over specific instance status category count to see the breakdown of status values. For nonmetered services, an instance count of 1 is always displayed, and in appropriate color, based on the service status. Services that are reclaimed or pending reclaim are also displayed on the dashboard but you can’t view their corresponding service detail pages. |

Click this icon to open the Select Content dialog box and select the metrics to be displayed on the tile. Metrics are organized into collapsible sections such as Billing Metrics, Business Metrics, or Monitoring Metrics (if available). Expand the sections as required to select specific metrics. Instances that do not have any recent usage data are not displayed when you select monitoring metrics. Typically, you can select up to 4 metrics. For some services, you can only select up to 2 to 3 metrics, or up to the maximum number defined for them. Metric data is displayed according to the time zone set in the Preferences dialog box. If a time zone isn’t specified, metrics are displayed according to the browser’s time zone. Note: If a service has fewer than 2 metrics, then this icon is disabled. For test instances, a test flag is displayed. To view metrics within the service tile, expand the tile. Click the name of the metric graph to view historical usage details. You can’t view the details of purged or deleted services or entitlements. |
