Inventory

The Inventory widget provides information about the physical nodes by model and software.

Nodes by Model

The Nodes by Model widget displays the number of nodes managed by the current instance of GigaVUE-FM as a bar graph. Each bar in the graph indicates the number of each device model managed. Hovering the mouse over a bar in the graph displays the model name and the total number. Figure 950: Nodes by Model shows a Node by Model widget displaying six different nodes managed by GigaVUE-FM. Hover the mouse over the bar to view the number of devices in each node.

Nodes by Software Version

The Nodes by Software Version widget presents a graph that helps you to quickly view the software versions of the nodes that GigaVUE-FM is managing and the total percentage of each version. Each software version is assigned a color in the graph, which is specified by the legend. Hovering the mouse over an area in the graph displays the total number of software version used as a percentage. In Figure 951: Nodes by Software Version, the Nodes by Software Version widget shows that there are 7 instances of version 5.1 and 2 instances of version 5.0, which is 22 percent of the total versions installed.
