Features
The Marvel Enterprise Portal gives you a single point of control for managing the resources your applications rely on, including a range of operating systems, servers, databases, platforms, and web components. For example, a typical IT network might have a web server on Windows, an application server and database on UNIX, and a transaction processor on CICS® on the mainframe. The Marvel Enterprise Portal brings all these views together in a single window so that you can see when any aspect of your network is not working as expected. Your IBM Marvel Monitoring products use the portal interface with these major features, and you can find demos for many of them on developer works in the Media Gallery.

| Customizing workspaces | Marvel Enterprise Portal presents information in a single pane of glass called a workspace, which consists of one or more views. Monitoring data is retrieved at regular intervals and the results sent to the workspace in the form of chart and table views. You can start monitoring activity and system status immediately with the predefined workspaces. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can tailor your own workspaces to look at specific conditions, display critical threshold values in red, and filter incoming data so you see only what matters. |
| Customizing workspace views |  The charts display data
that the monitoring agents have gathered from the systems where they
are running. They can also show data from any ODBC-compliant
database you write a custom query for.
|
The notepad view opens a simple text
editor for writing text that can be saved with the
workspace.
The table view
displays data that the monitoring agents have gathered from the
systems where they are running.
The message log shows the status of
all situations distributed to the managed systems in your
enterprise.
The universal message
console view shows situation and policy activity, and messages
received as the result of universal message
generation.
