Most widgets are actionable. For example, click an individual node in the All Nodes widget on the Summary page to open the Node Details view to learn more about the node.

The following example shows the Management widget on the Node Details view.

Click Manage Nodes in the All Nodes widget to open the Manage Nodes view where you can take action on multiple nodes.

Use the All Applications widget on the Summary page to drill down to individual applications and component monitors of an application. The Application Details view provides details about the individual application and actions you can perform on that application. This allows you to manage templates and applications to node assignments, or "unmanage" (that is, stop managing) multiple applications at one time.

Click Manage Applications in the All Applications widget to open the Manage Applications page and display all applications hosted on the node.


Expand an application name to show all component monitors associated with that application. Click a component monitor to access the Component Monitor details page to view detailed information and perform additional actions.
