Use the Operator Console Views

Use MOM Operator console views to obtain different representations of the operations data that is stored in the MOM database.

The data represented in each view is determined by several factors, including: the management packs that are installed, the console scope that you are using, and the view's properties.

The following table describes the views that are available.

View Description
Alerts Displays a list of alerts from all of the computers in the management group. Each row in the Results pane represents one alert.
State Displays a summary of the current state of all of the computers in the management group. Each row in the Results pane represents one computer.
Events Displays a list of all events. Each row in the Results pane represents one event.
Performance Displays a list of the number of performance measurements taken for each computer in the management group. Each row in the Results pane represents one computer.
Computers and Groups Displays a list of computer groups in the management group. Each row in the Results pane represents one computer group. You can also add a Computer Attributes View. For more information, see Create a New Computer Attributes View.

When you are working with views, you can complete basic view tasks, such as rename a view, copy a view, cut a view, paste a view, or delete a view.

You can also edit view properties and create new public ( Public Views) or personal views ( My Views).
