Displays alerts that notify users of defined situations occurring
at run time.
Diagrams:
Displays diagrams associated with a particular monitoring context
or KPI context.
Human
Tasks:
Displays all available human tasks and can be used to perform actions
on them. See the WebSphere Business

Server.
Instances:
Displays the available monitoring contexts in either individual instances
or user-defined groups of context instances.
KPIs:
Displays details of key performance indicators (KPIs), such as a KPI
value relative to the defined ranges and the target, if applicable,
and the status.
KPI History
and Prediction:
Displays a history of KPI values and a projection for the future.
From this information, you are able to understand how a KPI has trended
over time and how it could trend in the future.
Optionally, you can
install AlphaBlox so that users
can add the following items on their dashboards:
Dimensions: Displays
a multidimensional view of business performance data. You can generate
multidimensional reports that analyze different aspects of data retrieved
from a multidimensional data mart.

Displays performance reports relative to a time axis. This item helps
you to analyze historical values of numeric business measures that
belong to a cube.
