Web Component Tutorial
Introduction
You may already know how to view the performance of your servers and applications
with vFoglight and use it to monitor each component of the technology stack to detect
and alert application owners of problems before they affect performance.
With vFoglight, application and IT managers can understand end-user service levels for
their critical business applications, notify stakeholders when those service levels are
violated, and assign problem resolution tasks to the appropriate domain expert.
In addition to vFoglight's core performance management capabilities, vFoglight offers
specialized monitoring for all application tiers including: End-User Response,
Application, Web Servers, Application Servers, Databases, and Operating Systems.

and as you gain familiarity with the browser interface’s views you will imagine ways
that they could be improved to reflect the way that you would like to organize and
visualize your data.

interface, so they included the means to allow you to access the product’s component
framework and create your own custom views. You can populate these views with other
display components, such as charts and tables, and connect them to data sources. It is
the same data that the vFoglight agents have been configured to collect, but now it is
organized in a way that best fits your business model and its information needs.
The end result is a monitoring system that organizes data in a way that mirrors your
business model. Real-time monitoring data is presented the way you want to see it, and
you better control your application's availability. This also helps you with service level
management: because your custom views show services in a cleaner way, you can
