The data that is displayed by the application comes from a data source, as set up in Foglight. The data from a data source is held in data objects as properties. For example, some of the Host data-object properties are the name of the host, its IP address, and the number of fatal events. The data type is a data-object template, and determines the structure of a data object. Examples of data types are Host, AppServer, WebSphere®, Agent, and Event. For more information about type properties, see the Schema Browser. This dashboard is accessible from the Tools and Dashboard Support dashboard.
“Objects” are defined in the API and are not tied to the creation of any particular JavaTM Object.
When creating queries and defining bindings, you set the values by specifying the data object and the properties in the Path field. Paths traverse the structure of the data object. They are similar to directory paths in Windows® or UNIX®, and are comprised of a series of one or more property names, separated by forward slashes.
The following are some example paths:
An absolute path for all hosts, under the top of the tree of data. | |
The current average value of the cpuUsage metric object (under a host object) |
You edit the properties of a view in the Configuration tab. If Show Advanced Properties is false, only the ones needed to get you started are shown. If Show Advanced Properties is true, all the component’s properties become available for editing. Required properties are shown in bold font.
If you have already created a query that retrieves what you want from existing data, you can start creating views to display the data. If you do not have the proper data to work with, you need to create queries to return the data. For more information about queries, see Queries .
