Using the multiple pane view
The multiple pane view in the operator console provides a holistic view of how your cloud resources are performing. The multiple pane view displays the status of your cloud resources in multiple dimensions so that you can identify and address any potential issues that might affect the performance of your cloud infrastructure.
The multiple pane view displays the following information:
- Network resource structure grouped by location and displayed in the Heat Map view, with the pods defined for each location and the network containers associated with each pod shown as nested heat tiles, color-coded by status.
For information about the Heat Map view, see About-the-Heat-Map-view-in-the-operator-console. - Status of resource pools displayed in the Tile view.
For information about the Tile view, see About-the-Tile-view-in-the-operator-console.
To access details for objects displayed in each view
When a cloud resource in the view shows an abnormal status, you can use the Details window to gather further information to determine the possible cause.
Mouse over the resource that shows the abnormal status, and click the Details button 
.
The details window is displayed with the following tabs: Summary, Events, Resource Pools, Tenants, SOIs, and Network Containers. The following figure shows an example of the details window.
The top of the Summary tab displays encapsulated performance data color-coded to show any thresholds that have been violated. The Events tab shows any impacting events that might be causing the abnormal status. The Network Containers, Resource Pools, Tenants, and SOIs tabs show any of those objects that are defined for a given pod that might be affected by the impacting event. For more information about this window, see Details-window-in-the-operator-console.
The Tile view shows the status of the compute pools. To further analyze the cause of the event, you can drill down to view the child objects from the multiple pane view. If you access the multiple pane view in a multiple server environment, you can cross-launch from the Heat Map view or Tile view to the child server, where you can define the thresholds for the cloud resources by clicking the Menu icon and selecting*Launch > viewName - Child Console*. From the Heat Map view, you can launch the Graph view on the child server. From the Tile view, you can launch to either the Event view or the Graph view on the child server. The operator console on the child server is launched with the appropriate view displayed. You can use the views in the Operations Console and probable cause analysis to further determine the cause of the impacting event that is causing the abnormal status.
If you are accessing the multiple pane view in a single-server environment, you can use the Menu commands to perform the same tasks as you could if you were accessing the views separately from the multiple pane view. If you are accessing the multiple pane view from the Central Console in a multiple server deployment, then you must cross-launch to the child servers where the objects are stored to perform actions on them.
To display the toolbar in the Heat Map and Tile views
If you are viewing the multiple pane view in a single-server environment or on a child server in a multiple server environment, you can display a toolbar to change the settings for the Heat Map view or to perform tasks on the objects in the Tile view.
In the Heat Map or Tile view, click Show Toolbar 
. The toolbar opens at the top of the view. In the Heat Map view, you can change the following options:
- The number of levels of heat tiles to display, up to three
What the size of the tiles indicates
Priority
The priority of an object based on either its own priority or on the priority of another impacted object that propagates its priority to it. The objects with the highest priority have the largest tiles in the Heat Map.
Number of children
The number of child nodes associated with an object. The objects with a higher number of child objects associated with them have the largest tiles in the Heat Map.
SLA
The status of the worst SLA defined for the object. The objects with the worst SLAs defined have the largest tiles in the Heat Map.
Number of VMs
The number of virtual machines associated with an object. The objects with a higher number of VMs associated with them have the largest tiles in the Heat Map.
The color of the tiles represents the object's status. This option cannot be changed in the multiple pane view. You can change these options in the Heat Map view that is accessed separately from the multiple pane view by using the Heat Map view Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Using-edit-mode-to-change-preferences-in-the-Tile-view-in-the-operator-console.
In the Tile view, you can change the following options:
- Sort the tiles alphabetically by name or by severity, from highest to lowest
- Filter the tiles based on severity
- Search for compute pools based on the criteria that you enter in the Find Name field
- Adjust the size of the tiles
