Application Inventory Page
Application entities have a dedicated page view that displays specialized information about them. At the top of the screen is a field showing you which tier the application belongs to. Description and tags are also displayed. To edit these fields, select the Edit link.
The application’s hosts are displayed below in the Topology section. You can choose whether to group the hosts by their role.
The Infrastructure Map section shows a heat map of the infrastructure supporting the application. These two sections work together to provide insight into applications. Selecting a host from the Topology section highlights the related infrastructure in the Infrastructure Map.
The Application Components section shows a list view of the hosts or containers that comprise the application. Select the down arrow on the right to open the component’s entity page, view its open cases, show its properties or topology.
The Conversations section displays a list of conversations that comprise the application. Click the down arrow to view the menu for the conversation.
Application Properties
The Properties section is hidden by default. Click the Edit button to expand or edit properties.
System properties are properties that are set when the application entity is created. These properties are managed by the IO platform and they cannot be changed.
Custom properties are properties that you can define and manage.
Application Host Alarm Status
The Application Topology view shows the hosts that comprise the application, along with their current alarm status. The host’s status is denoted by the color of its representative icon. A halo surrounding the icon denotes an alarm at a sub-entity level.
Hover over the entity to view more information on the alarms on the entity and its sub-entities. Click on the down arrow to open a menu to view open cases for the host entity.
Host entities with red icons and an exclamation point on a red circle have active alarms. Hosts with green icons do not have active alarms.
A halo surrounding a host icon indicates that it has sub-entities. The halo's color indicates the severity of the alarms on the sub-entities:
Red hatching indicates there is an alarm with critical severity on one or more sub-entities
Yellow hatching indicates there is an alarm with warning severity on one or more sub-entities
Green hatching indicates that there are no active alarms on the host's sub-entities.
In the application topology shown above, one host has a critical alarm and all three hosts have sub-entities with critical alarms.
You can view the application's hosts grouped by role by selecting Role from the drop down list.
Application Dependency Map
The Application Infrastructure Dependency map is a representation of the entities supporting the application. One box is shown for each entity supporting the application. The boxes show you where there are issues in the infrastructure. They are color coded just like the alarm status shown on the hosts.
Hover over or click on an entity to view more information about its status.
You can filter the entities by entity type, e.g., Fibre Channel, PowerMax, by selecting a view from the dropdown entity type.
You can use the Application Topology view and the Infrastructure map together. By clicking on a host in the Topology view, you can see which of the entities displayed in the Infrastructure map are related to the application host.
Application Sub-Entities
The list views below the application topology map show you the sub-entities that are related to the application. These include entities that comprise the application service and conversations between the application and its data.
