Infoboxes

BMC PATROL for Microsoft SQL Server uses InfoBoxes to provide attributes specific to the objects in your SQL Servers. InfoBoxes are tables of attributes accessed from the icons that represent parameters and application classes. The PATROL consoles and PATROL Agent populate all of the attributes that appear in the parameter InfoBoxes and some of the attributes, such as icon type or status, that appear in the application InfoBoxes. 

In each of the application InfoBoxes, the items generated by BMC PATROL for Microsoft SQL Server appear below the items generated by the PATROL console, and they are preceded by a check mark (PATROL Console for Microsoft Windows) or are separated from the console items by a horizontal rule (PATROL Console for UNIX). The PATROL Central Operator consoles differentiate between the items in a similar fashion. The following figure is an example of an InfoBox for a Server application instance.

The attributes that populate the InfoBoxes are gathered and updated periodically. Some of the attributes that appear in the application InfoBoxes remain static (for example, SQL Server Name) and some of the attributes change as your SQL Server environment changes (for example, Blackout End Time). Each InfoBox provides an Update button that you can use to force a refresh of the attributes in that InfoBox.
