Front, Top, and Rear View |
 |
|
|
When you click the mouse cursor on home page's artistic picture of each view. The information panel will change into different view page correspondingly. Note the changes on top of the health panel after you clicked any view's picture. You probably see four (or three) artistic icons come out above the health panel. Each icon has a sub-title: "Home", "Front", "Top", and "Rear". It is easy to understand that if you click the home icon, then you will return to the home page. To click any one of three (or two) other icons will take you to another different view page.
To inspect in each view page, the information panel now are divided into three parts. The photo of full view, the photo of component view, and the information list that component hold. The photo of full view has two facets. Examine below the picture and you see a small round icon that has a camera symbol on it. Click that camera icon and then once again, you will realize how it works. Two images are switching by each other. One is a real photo of the system view and the other is a component diagram of that view.
This photo of component view initially is simply a picture that was taken in a prospect way and the component information is merely a copy from home page. Now try to move the mouse cursor on the surface of the photo of full view, you may find that one or some "red-squares" are jumping out. Each red-square indicates a significant component. When your mouse cursor moves into the area of a red-square, the red-square shows up. As you know, the photo of component view will likewise change. Certainly the information of the component will change either.
The most interesting is, if a sensor of a crucial component generates events (for example, a drive-loaded tray was pulled-out from the backplane accidentally), a health sign (or bulb) will appear on the location of that component in the photo. This is a sort of "WYSIWYG" (What you see is what you get). Besides, if the sensor's value information were listed, that statement of value information also changes its color (orange is the color of warnings and red is the color of critical).

The Overall Sensor Values |
 |
|
|
On the home page of ASWM, click the photo of the system. The information panel will show the overall list of all sensor values. The sensors are put together according to their belongings of health groups. There are four columns in overall table: sensor's name, sensor's value, value's unit and description.
- Sensor's name: each sensor has a unique name. At the first glance, sensors can be roughly divided into two types: hardware and non-hardware. These sensor names usually have fixed format and they are seldom changed even on different system model.
- Sensor's value & value's unit: most of sensors have values and units in Physics. These sensors are usually measured by applying some specific formulas.
- Description: some sensors are naturally descriptive instead of numerical. For example, sensor values of Disks S.M.A.R.T. or sensor values of RAID status are multiple states and each state represents its health condition. Hence the sensor value is composite of state descriptions. Another example would be the sensors of backplane's drive bays. These are only indicating the state of on-line or off-line.
