Client GUI Components
The Dashboard Client GUI consists of several components.
NOTE: This manual uses the word “node” in two different ways, for consistency with the Client
GUI itself:
• In most cases, the term “node” refers to a Neoview processing node. There are 16 processing
nodes in a Neoview segment; you use the Dashboard CPU entity to monitor their status and
activity.
• In a few cases, for instance in relation to the Graph Node option, the term “node” refers to
a Neoview platform segment. In such contexts, this manual usually qualifies the word “node”
with the parenthesized word “(segment).”
Browse Window
Use the Browse window to view statistics; to browse and analyze segments, Dashboard entities,
and objects; and to control the Dashboard environment. This window updates in real time to
reflect the segments, entities, and objects you select. For more information, see “Browse Window”
(page 27).
Graph Window
You can create one or more Graph windows from a Browse window. Use Graph windows to
maintain multiple views of specific segment-entity-object combinations. These windows update
in real time to reflect the segments, entities, and objects you select. For more information, see
“Graph Window” (page 51).
Report Window
You can get detailed reports about a selected segment, entity, or object in Browse or Graph
windows from shortcut menus. Report windows update in real time to reflect customized reports
about the segments, entities, and objects that you select. For more information, see “Report
Window” (page 52).
Dashboard Properties Window
Use the Dashboard Properties window to customize the Dashboard display, including the entities
to retrieve from the Neoview platform, the attributes of each entity to display, the font to use,
and the options to use for graphing and maintaining the host session. For more information, see
Chapter 5 (page 57).
Session Window
Dashboard can retrieve both real-time and historical statistics information. Through the Session
window, you can view, start, stop, and track the progress of the Host Session. You can start and
