Entity Types

Entities are the objects in your SVC environment that IPM can discover and monitor. You can view details about each entity from the IPM Inventory tab. You can view maps of entity relationships on the Topology tab.

From the Inventory page, you can view a list of all the entities that IPM discovers and reports on.

The following tables identify the entity types that were added for the SVC Integration. Each entity type is represented in the IPM UI by a different icon, as indicated in the entity types tables. Entities are listed in the tables by classification type.
