Using the Web Component Tutorial 29
Introduction
inform application and IT managers about end-user service levels, notify stakeholders
when those service levels are violated, and assign problem resolution tasks to the
appropriate domain experts. Custom views that focus on known trouble spots can help
establish processes for quick recovery from system failure.
Why Configure the Default Views?
Suppose your company’s rapid expansion has led to the addition of many different
application systems and groups, with each support team comfortable with their own
legacy systems. In total, your IT department is responsible for managing an ERP system
consisting of many servers and Oracle databases distributed across a number of major
locations.
Before the acquisition of vFoglight, homegrown scripts and applications were used to
monitor these distributed systems, which made it difficult for the support organization
to manage the information and care for the entire distributed environment.
Now you have vFoglight, a standardized monitoring system that provides centralized
management and allows people to attack problems from the same perspective,
proactively monitor a large heterogeneous environment, and offers access to this
distributed monitoring system via a Web browser. You and your team can see the big
picture and correlate events between systems for the entire application. With vFoglight,
the situation can be improved even further.
vFoglight uses a configurable Web-based interface. By doing your own custom
configurations, you can apply your detailed knowledge of your system to augment or
replace the out-of-the-box views vFoglight shows by default.
This helps vFoglight to notify you directly when something is broken, rather than
relying on a user notifying a help desk, getting a trouble ticket, and only then having the
support group notified. If a custom configuration presents a clearer view or better
correlation of events between all systems, and leads to pinpointing a problem that might
otherwise take longer to notice and to diagnose, then the time spent in crafting the
custom view is well spent.
The aim of this tutorial is to make the learning curve less steep. In it, you’ll see how to
create additional views, populate them with GUI components, and connect these
components to data sources.
