2.4.8.1. Physical View

Physical view

2.4.8.1.1. Overview

The physical tree presents a hierarchical view of your distributed system. It shows a list of hosts, and the services and processes running on each host. For each host that is running Connext DDS processes, Admin Console will display these processes, either by their name or process ID. The process name is identified by the name of the first DomainParticipant, which can be set with the “DomainParticipantQos.participant_name.name” QoS value. See the Core Libraries and Utilities User’s Manual or the API Reference HTML documentation for more details on how to set this.

The rows in this view indicate health with error ICON_ERROR and warning ICON_WARNING badges.

You can filter the tree by typing in the text box (which says “type filter text” when it is empty).

2.4.8.1.2. Toolbar

The toolbar ICON_PHYSICAL_VIEW_TOOLBAR in this view contains controls to:

  • ICON_EXPAND_ALL Expand all tree nodes.

  • ICON_COLLAPSE_ALL Collapse all tree nodes.

  • ICON_TREE_CLEANUP Remove entities that are no longer present.

  • ICON_EXPAND_VIEW_MENU Expand the view menu, which contains items for filtering (see next section).

  • Minimize and maximize the view.

2.4.8.1.3. Filter Menus
