Global Views in Essentials

Applies To: System Center Essentials 2010

Global views are a set of views, listed directly under the Monitoring node in the Monitoring pane of the Essentials 2010 console, that include information from all object types in your deployment of Essentials 2010. They are designed to give a high-level overview of the latest issues and actions that have occurred in your Management Group.

Because items in these views include all managed objects, each view can contain a lengthy list of objects. To find a particular object or group of objects from these lists, you can use the Scope, Search, and Find buttons on the Essentials 2010 toolbar. For more information, see How to Manage Monitoring Data Using Scope, Search, and Find in Essentials.
