Saving your work

Just as you may have done in Tutorial 2, you can save the work you have done so far in Tutorial 3.

This procedure assumes that your Foglight® installation is in the default location on a Windows® machine. Make the appropriate changes for other platforms. It also assumes that your user name is tutorial. Note that all objects in the module are saved.

To export your module using fglcmd:
•
In the directory where you placed fglcmd, issue the command:
fglcmd -usr tutorial -pwd <password> -cmd util:uiexport -m user:tutorial -f \C:\pub\Tutorial\Tutorial3.zip.

Adding a vertical scroll bar to the table

If there are more than six or so hosts listed in the table, the lower ones will be cut off and you will not be able to see them. One way of allowing for this possibility is to add a vertical scroll bar. It is one of the configurable properties you can choose when adding the table to the layout component.

To add a vertical scroll bar to Monitored Hosts:
1
Open the All Hosts view for editing.
2
Open the Layout tab.
3
On the Layout tab, click the Monitored Hosts area, and then click Properties.
4
In the Properties dialog box that appears, experiment with the Scrollbars settings, especially Auto and Vertical.

Interchanging columns in the Table of Hosts

To move the alarm to the left side of the table:
1
Open the Monitored Hosts view for editing, and open the Configuration tab.
2
In the list of properties, expand the Columns node.
3
In the second Column row, click to move the column up in the list of columns.
This has a result of shifting the second column to the left in the Monitored Hosts view.
To add one more column to the table between the alarm and the host name:
1
Open the Monitored Hosts view for editing, and open the Configuration tab.
2
In the list of properties, expand the Columns node.
3
Under the last column node click . Click the Add Column button.
A new Column entry is added to the list. Its expanded view appears. In the Value column, click Edit.
4
In the list that appears, choose Context.
5
In the Edit - Value dialog box that appears, click the Input Key box, and choose currentRow(Host) from the list that appears.
6
Click the Path box, and choose Alarm Total Count - Integer from the list that appears.
7
In the Edit - Value dialog box, click Save.
8
In the newly added Column row, click to move the column up so that the Alarm Total Count column appears between the Name and Aggregate State columns.
9
Save your changes and view the result.

After adding a new column to the table while keeping your previous settings unchanged, and testing the result, you may notice that the table is too narrow to fit the name column in the space that has been allotted to it. In fact, since the column has been placed to the right of the host name, you may not even see it. This exposes a problem with a fixed-layout container. The table’s allotted size can be inappropriate if columns are added or if the text in a cell needs extra space.

You can widen the table by editing the All Hosts view.:

1
On the Layout tab, click inside the Monitored Hosts area, and then click Properties on the Layout tab toolbar.
2
In the Properties dialog box that appears, change the Width to 400.
3
Click Save in the Properties dialog box, and then click Save on the All Hosts view toolbar.
