About the Heat Map view

The Heat Map view in the Operations Console displays the hierarchical monitored objects in the navigation tree as nested heat tiles and is available for cloud resource objects (locations, pods, network containers, and compute pools) and services. The Heat Map view is color-coded to show the alarm stages of the nodes selected in the navigation tree and their child objects. Use the Heat Map view to get an at-a-glance view of the status of the objects to more quickly identify issues.

The Heat Map view has the following characteristics: 

• You can configure what the size of the tiles represents. For example, it could be based on the number of child objects associated within each node, so that the more child objects that a node has, the larger its tile is in the Heat Map view. You can set this value in the Heat Map view Preferences dialog box. 
• The color of the tile can represent the status or priority of the monitoried object. You can set this value in the Heat Map view Preferences dialog box. 
• The tile can be expanded to a full pane view by double-clicking on the tile. 
• Tile characteristics can be changed by using the Heat Map view Preferences dialog box. 
• Actions can be performed on the tiles by using the Tools menu. 
• Additional details about the monitored object can be viewed either by selecting the Details icon on the tile or by displaying the Details notebook pane located below the Heat Map view.
  You can display the Heat Map view for the applicable objects that you select in the navigation tree by clicking the Heat Map View icon in the toolbar in the right pane view of the Operations Console.
