Monitor View Components
You can quickly survey the status of the View Manager and vSphere components in your View deployment
by using the View Administrator dashboard.
View Administrator displays monitoring information about View Connection Server instances, the event
database, security servers, View Composer services, datastores, vCenter Server instances, and domains.
NOTE View Manager cannot determine status information about Kerberos domains. View Administrator
displays Kerberos domain status as unknown, even when a domain is configured and working.
