Anatomy of a Typical Dashboard

The starting place for working with WCF components is the Definitions dashboard. You may find it useful to have the browser interface open and navigate to the Definitions dashboard so that you can refer to it as you continue reading.

The Web Component Framework (WCF)

WCF consists of a structure for hosting related views called view components, and container services that host data sources. It is a superset of the View Component collection that contains other control components, such as renderers. It is used to build thin client interfaces for products that are primarily (but not necessarily) in the systems management domain.

WCF is written in JavaTM and is capable of running in a Web container such as Apache Tomcat. It can be used on contemporary Web browsers without requiring the use of a plug-in. It is portal-like, but is not a JSR-168 standard portal.

WCF supports multiple data sources. With it, you can configure multiple data queries and display the retrieved data using views. Queries are the primary mechanism used to extract data from WCF data sources. A view can use more than one query to extract data for display, and a query can use more than one data object.

Apart from creating browser interface elements using WCF, there are several important considerations:

See the Foglight® core documentation set for more information about these elements.

View Components

View components are elements of WCF. They are the visible components in the browser interface. Multiple components can be arranged on a page, and some components can be nested within others. A view contains both view components and configuration information. Views can be interactive and respond to user actions.

Types of view components:

The configuration settings include flow control, contextual inputs, data binding, and query specification.

The Foglight® User Guide covers the following topics in greater detail.

Pages can be decorated with headers, which may contain:

The Module List Pane

Navigate to Dashboards > Configuration > Definitions and you will see the module list pane at the upper left. Foglight view components are grouped into modules that potentially contain views, queries, functions, renderers, and so on. Modules are an organizational framework for keeping related view components together. Top-level modules are created by Foglight® designers, but it is possible to create sub-modules in any of the system modules. User modules, such as My Definitions, the current user’s own workspace for creating a new view component, cannot have sub-modules.
