By hierarchy, we refer to how access to information is organized, as it appears on the left panel of the browser. Web ViewPoint Plus is designed for HPE NonStop Servers, and that is where the hierarchy starts.

A globe icon is displayed on the highest level.Click on this icon to see a the current Performance statistics of all the neighborhood Servers in a summary format.

Below the globe icon, each NonStop Server is identified by its name (e.g. MYNSTOP). Click on the Server name, to expose and access all available features, described below:

  • Performance – Has 2 sections under this category
    • Monitor – See current / live performance statistics of the Server in a more detail format, and if so licensed, access Remote Analyst for deep analyses, discoveries, and historical trends.
    • Events– See live and historical EMS (Event Management System) Events.
  • Operation – Comprises of the below sections
    • Event Analyzer – Event Analyzer captures daily snapshots of all EMS Events of one or more Collectors, which are then analyzed and stored in a historical indexed database.
    • Storage Analyzer – Storage Analyzer captures daily snapshots of all Disks and files, which are then analyzed and stored in a historical indexed database.
    • Storage – View and interact with the storage (Disks/sub-volumes/file) subsystem

      • SMTP Server – Define SMTP information needed to email out Alerts
    • EMS
      • BAM – Business Application Manual (BAM) is really an imaginative/quirky (you be the judge) name given to the ability to add detail (description, cause, effect, recovery) information about Events generated by your in-house applications. Here is when you define them.
      • Exceptions– Description of category of Events you absolutely do not want to be bothered with.

    • Phone Carriers – Lists the phone carriers that have been already configured. The email address corresponds to the SMS mailbox address of the Phone carrier to which Web ViewPoint Plus will send SMS notifications
