Expand a table.

Within a collapsed table, right-click anywhere in the table title bar and select Expand table to expose the data for that table.

NOTE:

On screens with multiple tables, the tables have an expand/collapse icon ( or ) in the upper left corner of the table title bar. Click the icon to expand or collapse the table.

Navigate between views

Application Discovery provides two navigation aids to help you move from data view to data view.

Navigating with tabs

Application Discovery provides a set of tabs for navigating among the aggregated data views. At the top level, these views are categorized as Applications, Hosts, and Events. Under the Admin/Config tab, you can find additional views for AD Templates, Packages, and AD Agents. Click the tabs to move from view to view.

Navigating with table links

As you review the tables in different views, you can see some data entries are linked. In particular, you can see that application name and host name are usually linked. Clicking an application name or host name opens a view showing data for that specific application, application instance, or host. Use these links to find an application- or server-specific view.

Adjusting visibility of applications within Application Discovery data tables

Prerequisite: You must have “Matrix OE All tools” authorization to set visibility attributes. (See “User authorizations” in Matrix Operating Environment help for a discussion of tool box permissions.)

Set visibility for hosts on Application Discovery screens

To help you control the amount of data presented to you, Application Discovery provides several ways to modify the visibility of objects in Application Discovery screens. In addition to modifying host visibility (discussed here) you can also change the visibility of packages and applications.

To change visibility of a host:

1.Click the following tabs in Application Discovery: Admin/Config, then Discovery.

2.In the table listing all hosts, find the column labeled “Visible”.

3.Click the button to toggle visibility of hosts on Application Discovery screens to yes (Y) or no (N). Select N to prevent the host and its accompanying data from showing in Application Discovery data tables. Select Y to allow the host and its accompanying data to show in Application Discovery data tables.

Set visibility for matched applications

To help you control the amount of data presented to you, Application Discovery provides several ways to modify the visibility of objects in Application Discovery screens. In addition to modifying application visibility (discussed here) you can also change the visibility of packages and hosts.

To change visibility of a matched application:

1.Click the following tabs in Application Discovery: Admin/Config , then AD Templates.

2.In the table listing all application templates, find the column labeled “Visible”.

3.Click the button to toggle visibility of applications matched to a template to yes (Y) or no (N). Select N to prevent the applications that match this template from showing in Application Discovery data tables. Select Y to allow the applications that match this template to show in Application Discovery data tables.

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.
