IBM Tivoli Universal Agent workspaces contain the table views you use to obtain information about the various aspects of your monitored system. The table views within each workspace report attribute information you are monitoring. You can use them to do the following:
Investigate attribute information relating to a change in state
Monitor your system performance to identify bottlenecks and to evaluate tuning decisions
Select the most effective threshold values for situations you create
In addition to table views, a workspace can contain other views, such as graphs, charts, a notepad pane, a browser session, an event console, or a take action pane that gives you the ability to send commands to the operator console.
Note that the descriptions of each workspace apply to the default settings. Default settings are the components of the workspace in its original configuration. Any changes or updates that you make to a workspace are not necessarily reflected in the description of the workspace. For additional information about Universal Agent workspaces, as well as information about sorting and filtering table view data, refer to the IBM Tivoli Universal Agent User's Guide.
The Tivoli Enterprise Portal default workspace contains a variety of charts that reflect the "health" of your monitored systems. The workspace contains "at a glance" data, including the
Situation Event Console
Management Agent Status
Raised Situations Count - Last 24 hours (horizontal bar chart)
This default workspace provides a comprehensive means for gathering exactly the information you need to detect problems early and to prevent them.
