Neoview Management Dashboard Client Guide for Database Administrators (R2.2)

4 Using the Client Windows
You use the Dashboard Client to obtain real-time and historical views of the Neoview
environment, to see everything from generalized overviews of availability and performance for
system and application objects to detailed customized views of specific
segment-entity-object-attribute combinations.
The Client provides a consistent viewing paradigm for these types of Neoview platform objects:
CPU, Disk, ProcessBusy, Query, and TMF. Regardless of the entity type, you can use shortcut
menus to get detailed reports about an entity by clicking graph and grid elements.
