Seeing a visual summary of your active hosts

The Active Hosts Summary dashboard displays information about each active host in a separate view. A host becomes active when its memory usage is greater than 0%.

This dashboard is useful when you have a small number of hosts and want to see a visual summary of them.

Figure 61. The Active Hosts Summary dashboard.

If you have a large number of hosts, you can use the Hosts dashboard, or use the Active Hosts Summary dashboard as a portlet in a custom dashboard and configure custom dashboards for each set of hosts. For information about creating custom dashboards using a selected dashboard, see Creating a Custom Dashboard Based on the Current Dashboard on page 82.

To choose how many hosts to display in the summary:
•
In the Number of Hosts to Display box, type the number and click Apply.

If you have a large number of active hosts in your environment, you can filter your list of services by specifying a domain of interest. For example, you may want to focus on only the Windows services in your environment.

To filter your list of active hosts:
1
On the Action panel, open the General tab, click Service Selector.
2
Click the Filter Hosts By Service check box.
3
Select a Service domain.
The list of active hosts is refreshed to display the specified domain.
For more information, see Getting Started with Foglight.
