Working with HUM Portlets
This chapter describes the portlets available in CiscoWorks LMS Portal for Health and Utilization Monitor (HUM) 1.0.
Note
The HUM View and portlets are displayed in CiscoWorks LMS Portal only if the HUM application is installed.
This section contains the following topics:
•

Customizing the Portlets
HUM Portlets
The HUM application has ten portlets. The content in a HUM view is organized using Portlets.
Portlets are the user interface components that are displayed in a View. For instance, after installing HUM, the HUM View appears with a set of portlets in CiscoWorks LMS Portal.
These portlets enable you to view the various details of HUM applications such as the CPU Utilization summary details, device details, Interface errors and discards, memory and interface utilization and threshold information details in a single page.
This section has the following portlets:
•
CPU Utilization Summary Chart
•
Device Availability
•
Histo-Graph It
•
HUM System Summary
•
TOP-N Interface Discards
•

Health and Utilization Monitor Portlet
CPU Utilization Summary Chart
The CPU Utilization Summary Chart portlet displays the CPU usage details of the devices monitored using HUM. The CPU Utilization data is summarized and displayed in a pie-chart for all the devices for a specific time interval.
You can click the pie-chart to navigate to the CPU Utilization report. The portlet also displays the total number of CPU instances for CPU utilization.
If there are no data in the CPU Utilization Summary Chart portlet, it displays the following message:
Currently Pollers have not been configured. Click here to configure.
You can click the here link to launch the Poller Management page. The Poller Management page allows you to configure pollers.
