Working with data views

For expanded discussions about what can be seen in each Application Discovery data view, see the Application Discovery help reference in the software.

Adjusting the user interface

You can alter several visual and behavioral aspects of the Application Discovery user interface for the duration of your user session. Application Discovery does not store these changes as user preferences.

To take advantage of these settings, select the following tabs: Admin/Config, then UI. The following figure shows the controls available from the UI tab.

Set screen data refresh interval

Application Discovery can automatically refresh data to the interface screens at variable intervals. You can select the interval you prefer, or you can turn the refresh interval off. The default refresh interval is 20 minutes.

To change the refresh interval, use the “Refresh interval” drop-down to select the setting that you prefer.

Your selection is applied automatically and immediately.

Screen refresh when clicking tabs or links:

Screens with long lists of systems, applications, or packages take more time to refresh. If a screen appears to be empty when you first click to it, please wait a few seconds for the refresh to complete.

Set general visibility

First and foremost, visibility of systems and applications depends on the permissions a user has for each managed system and application. Users can see only those systems and applications in Application Discovery tables that they already have permission to access or view.

Matrix Operating Environment Software specifications

HP Matrix Operating Environment (MOE) is an innovative software platform designed to deliver efficient management and orchestration of IT resources across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures. It provides a comprehensive solution for organizations that require a robust and flexible environment to manage their IT operations seamlessly.

One of the main features of HP MOE is its ability to optimize resource utilization by automating the provisioning and management of infrastructure components. This includes the ability to rapidly deploy servers, storage, and networking resources in a manner that meets the dynamic needs of modern businesses. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort required for manual configurations, enabling IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks.

The software offers a unified management interface that provides visibility into the entire IT environment. Users can monitor performance metrics, track resource allocation, and manage workflows through a single dashboard. This centralized control not only simplifies operations but also enhances decision-making capabilities by providing real-time insights into system health and performance.

Another critical characteristic of HP MOE is its support for both physical and virtual resources. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, making it easier for organizations to adopt virtualization and hybrid cloud strategies. Its compatibility with industry-standard hypervisors allows businesses to leverage their current investments while taking advantage of the benefits of virtualization.

HP MOE incorporates advanced technologies such as automation scripts, APIs, and tools for workload balancing. This technological backbone enables organizations to implement elasticity in their environments, allowing them to scale resources up or down based on demand. The software also supports a service-oriented architecture, facilitating integration with other enterprise applications and systems.

Security is a top priority in the design of HP MOE. The software provides robust security features that ensure data integrity and protect against unauthorized access. This includes role-based access controls, encryption, and compliance reporting, all of which contribute to a secure operating environment.

In summary, HP Matrix Operating Environment Software is a powerful solution that addresses the complexities of managing modern IT resources. Its key features include automation, unified management, support for physical and virtual environments, and strong security measures. With its ability to enhance efficiency and streamline operations, HP MOE is an essential tool for organizations looking to stay competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
