Expanding a product node displays the EZExplorer node and view folder nodes.

You can use the view folders listed beneath the EZExplorer node to list the views by name. For example, the DMON folder contains device views sorted by view name. If you do not know which view displays the information that you want, you can find it by double-clicking the EZExplorer node. The node contains folders of views grouped by functionality. The views are identified by a description (such as Cache Overview), with the view name in parentheses, rather than view names. For example, the Devices folder lists some key device activity views.

You can open a view by double-clicking its icon, or by right-clicking the icon and selecting Open view. You can also right-click and select:

  • Help to display information about the view
  • Open with parameters to pass parameters with the view request
  • Open chart to open a chart for the view without opening the backing view

Tip

To locate a view in a product node, EZExplorer node, or folder node without scanning the list, right-click the node’s icon and select Locate view.
