Overview

Whilst a acts as a starting point to explore a specific part of your IT landscape, and an allows you to investigate a subset of a particular view, a custom view provides a way for you to get back to any of these views.

In other words, you can create a custom view by saving a or an with your own settings (filters, visualization options, view settings, timeline configuration) to bookmark a part of your topology that's of particular interest to you or your team.

By default, custom views will be visible to all users, these can be secured by a StackState administrator if required.

Handling

All the custom views can be found unde the Views entry in the main menu.

If you frequently use a certain custom view, you can add it to the starred views. All the starred views are listed directly in the Views section of the main menu for quick access - you can recognize the starred views by the yellow star icon next to their name. Add or remove a custom view from the starred views by simply clicking the star icon next to its name.

Create a view

In the Save view as dialog, the following options can be set:

Field Name
Description

View name

The name of the view.

Description

A short description for the view. It helps remembering the scope of the view.

View health state enabled

Whether the view has a health state or not. If this is enable, the view health state is calculated based on the configuration function below.

Configuration function

When view health state is enabled, you can choose a function that's used to calculate the view health state whenever there are changes in the view. The default choice is minimum health states - this function calculates the health state of the view based on the amount of components in CRITICAL or DEVIATING state in the view.

Arguments

The required arguments will vary depending on the chosen configuration function, if any.

Identifier

A unique reference for the view, helpful when you want to reference the view from an exported configuration, such as the exported configuration in a StackPack.

Reset a view

When a custom view is created, all the filters, visualization options, view settings and the timeline configuration are saved on the view. If you want to reset the custom view to its original state after you have made some changes to it, use the dropdown menu next to the Save... button on the top navigation bar and select Reset view.

Delete or edit a view

Note that changes made to a custom view will be applied for all users.

A custom view can be edited or deleted from either the all views screen, or the custom view screen.
