Re-discover galaxy

The Galaxy diagram indicates the last time the Galaxy was discovered (in the upper right of the diagram).

A Galaxy includes one or more Application Servers that have:

• a deployed Platform,

• one or more engines running on each platform, and

• device integration objects running under the engine(s), if any.

The current platform, engine(s), and Device Integration objects deployed on a monitored machine constitute the current shape of the Galaxy. The shape can be easily changed within the Application Server IDE. For example, Engines and Device Integration objects can be added, deleted, transferred to another machine to run under a different Platform.

AVEVA System Monitor discovers the current shape of the Galaxy on each monitored machine on startup of the System Monitor Agent, at a specified interval as configured in the General Settings dialog, and can be forced to execute the Re-discover Galaxy option.

• Select Re-Discover Galaxy (the first icon in icon group in upper right of diagram) to send a command for each agent to discover the Galaxy shape. This process can take time depending on current rule processing, rule evaluation, and alert posting to the System Monitor Manager. You can select on the refresh icon to reload the Galaxy Diagram.

You can Zoom In or Zoom Out to improve the display detail of the Galaxy Diagram.The zoom options are especially useful to display a galaxy with many objects.

Select Zoom Reset (second icon in icon group) to redisplay the Galaxy Diagram in a 1:1 scale.
