Setting Up Status
• Definitions of component groups and how the icons representing them are arranged
in the Status diagram and other group windows. Each component group is a
collection of components your site has decided to monitor through a single icon in
the Status diagram. For further information about the Status diagram, see 3.2.
Typically, when you click an icon that represents a component group, a table opens
listing all components belonging to that group. For a large group, you might want to
define subgroups. When you click the icon for such a group, a lower level group
window opens instead of a table. You can nest component groups in this hierarchical
fashion to any depth.
• Definitions of component table templates. A component table displays information
about individual components and their attributes. A template determines which
attributes (columns) appear in the table, and in what order. For further information
about component tables, see 3.4.
Status provides three default diagram definitions:
• Each Host Class Combination
The diagram definition contains a component group for each combination of host in
the configuration and class in the classification. The icons are arranged in rows by
host and in columns by class.
• Each Class
The diagram definition contains a component group for each class in the
classification, with components from all hosts represented in each component group.
The icons are arranged automatically in one to three rows, depending on the number
of component classes.
• Each Class With Subgroups For Each Host (Department and Enterprise Editions only)
The diagram definition contains a component group for each class in the
classification. Each of these groups has a subgroup defined for each host in the
configuration.
This choice creates a Status diagram that contains one group for each component
class, just as the second choice does. In addition, each top-level group has a
subgroup window that contains one group for each host to which the component
class applies.
For all diagram definitions, only the Status diagram window is initially displayed.
You can use these default diagram definitions as they are, or you can use them as
starting points for defining customized diagram definitions.
You can change the groups and tables that compose a diagram definition while Status is
running. If you create a combination of groups and tables that you want to save, you can
save this combination either as a new diagram definition or as a replacement of the
original diagram definition. For details, see Section 5.
Each diagram definition is associated with one specific combination of classification and
configuration. However, multiple diagram definitions can be associated with the same
