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 Neoview platform objects including CPU,
Disk, ProcessBusy, Query, QueryRTS, Table, and TMF. You can use shortcut menus to get detailed
reports about an entity by clicking graph and grid elements.
The Client provides these interface components.

“Browse Window” (page 27)Provides a way to browse and analyze segment-entity-object
availability and performance statistics. You see graph, data

segments, entities, and objects.

changes and a detailed log of state changes. You can obtain
both high-level and detailed state change information.

entity, and objects.

Object Integration Layer (OIL), indicating the segments,
entities, and objects with the highest alerts.
