Active Directory Environment > Monitoring tab

The Monitoring tab provides a summary of the Active Directory® components and consists of the following views:

The Active Directory Environment Overview is located across the top of the Active Directory Environment dashboard. It provides you with an overview of your Active Directory® environment.

The overview contains a tile for the following object types in your Active Directory infrastructure: forests, domains, sites, and domain controllers. Each tile shows the number of corresponding objects of that type in your Active Directory infrastructure as well as a count of objects of that type in each of the alarm states (fatal, critical, warning, and normal).

Clicking a tile displays summary information for that object type in the Quick View. Clicking an alarm state (for example, warning) on a tile displays summary information in the Quick View for the objects of that type that are in the selected alarm state.

The Quick View is located across the middle of the Active Directory Environment dashboard.

Figure 8. Quick View

The Quick View displays summary information pertaining to the component selected from the Active Directory Environment Overview and Object Tree view. For example,

The Quick View consists of the following embedded views:

The Object Tree view is located at the left of the Quick View and displays objects based on the tile selected in the Active Directory Environment Overview. Use the Object Tree view to select a single object or a group of objects of a particular type for display in the Object Summary view.

The Object Summary view is located to the right of the Object Tree view and displays summary information for a single object or a group of objects, depending on what is selected in the Object Tree view.

The Object Summary view displays forest, server, site, and domain controller tiles (with the tile type reflecting the selected object type) or a number of embedded views which is determined by the item selected in the Active Directory Environment Overview and Object Tree view. A forest, server, site, or domain controller tile provides a quick and easy view into the items that make up the selected Active Directory® object and the alarm states of these items.

In addition, in the top right of the Overview Summary view there is a link to the Active Directory Explorer dashboard. This enables you to quickly navigate to the Active Directory Explorer for more detailed metrics about the selected object or group of objects.
