Perform the following procedure to set properties for collections. You can select to make the collection visible in the Systems and Events panel or to have it hidden, have the system or cluster status displayed or have it hidden, and select the default view for the collection.

To set properties for system or cluster collections:

  1. Click Customize in the Systems and Events panel. The Customize Collections page appears.

  2. In the Show dropdown list, select Systems. All available system or cluster collections are displayed. Click expand tree to expand all system and cluster collections in the table, or click collapse menu icon to collapse all system and cluster collections in the table.

  3. Select a collection and click [Set Properties]. The Set Properties section appears.

  4. Under Visible, select Yes, show items in Systems and Events panel, or select No, do not show item in Systems and Events panel. You might want to select No, do not show item in Systems and Events panel if you have collections that are unused, so that they do not clutter the Systems and Events panel.

  5. Under Status Displayed, select Yes, show status in Systems and Events panel if you prefer to see the system health status, or select No, do not show the status in Systems and Events panel to keep the panel uncluttered.

    Note: This option is available only for collections defined by their attribute.

    Note: For a collection, the most critical status of its members is displayed. If you open the collection, the status for each individual member is shown.

    Note: Try to limit the display of status to only those collections you need, because this uses system resources.

  6. In the Default View field, select the default view from the dropdown list. Select from TreeView, TableView, or IconView. Refer to Monitoring Systems, Clusters, and Events - Navigating the Systems and Events Panel for more information on each view.

Command Line Interface

Users with full-configuration-rights user can use the mxcollection command to set properties for collections from the command line interface (CLI).

Refer to Getting Started - Using Command Line Interface Commands for more information on accessing the manpage, which includes detailed information for this command.
