Overview of Views
vFoglight displays monitoring data in views that group, format, and display data. The
main types are described below.
Dashboards are top-level views that do not receive data from other views. Dashboards
usually contain a number of lower-level views. The dashboards supplied with vFoglight,
as well as those created by users, are available in the navigation panel.
Lower-level views in vFoglight can be added to dashboards or can be accessed by
drilling down from a dashboard. They receive and display data directly from the
vFoglight Management Server or from other views. Some views filter or select data that
appears in other views in the same dashboard. Some are tree views with expandable
nodes for selecting servers, applications, or data.
