Creating Geographical Views in USM

For CA Nimsoft Monitor

You can use the Geo View node in USM to create hierarchical visual representations of monitored groups and members. Drilldown views can be embedded within a geo view to provide additional details.

Follow these steps to create a geo view:

1. Hover the cursor over the Geo View node, and click the plus action item (+) that appears. Enter a name for the view.
2. Locate the new geo view under the Geo View node, and click the gear action item () that appears.
3. Click the Upload new geo view icon (), and browse to an image to use for the background of the geo view.
4. Drag groups or members from the USM navigation tree onto the geo view. You can use the Basic search to find devices that are not members of a group.
5. To add a drilldown view to the geo view:

• While in edit mode, click the Add drilldown view icon ()
• Position the drilldown view on the geo view. You will be able to reposition the drilldown view as needed later.
• Provide a name for the drilldown view.
• The drilldown view is added to the navigation tree under the sub-node of the geo view.
• Locate the new drilldown view under the geo view sub-node, and click the gear action item () to upload an image or make other changes to the drilldown view.

 6.  Click the save icon to save your changes and exit edit mode.
