The IDERA Newsfeed is a new way for DBAs and mana= gers to collaborate, share knowledge, and keep close tabs on your most crit= ical SQL Server issues.
In the following list, you can find some basic components= that can help you understand more about the terminology used in IDERA News= feed:
An activity timeline is a ch=
ronological graph that displays in the SQLDM Console, at the top of your Most Recent feed as well as on the walls of servers, you=
r SQLDM application, and coworkers. It shows how many stories have been created over t=
ime, as well as when stories have caused the most interaction, allowing you=
to quickly identify the highest and lowest points of activity.
By identifying when activity spikes happened, you can dis= cern when and where you should focus your attention. You can then drill dow= n to the corresponding stories that occurred at specific points in time by = selecting suspicious spikes in the timeline.
The activity timeline also lets you easily discover histo= rical patterns, such as a repeating server issue, or return to a past event= to see how it was resolved.
Choose whether you want to browse activity by day, month,= or year, and then use the forward and backward arrows to scroll through th= e corresponding timeline.
When you hover over or tap on the activity timeline graph= , a horizontal bar displays, pinpointing the exact point in time for which = you are seeing activity. To change this point in time, select the bar and m= ove it to the appropriate time.
An application is= a tool, such as SQL Diagnostic Manager, that provides alerts and other eve= nt information about servers to the ID= ERA Newsfeed. This information is processed into status updates in your feed and on the wall of your server. To b= etter understand the relationship between an application and its managed se= rvers, learn how the IDERA Newsfeed works.
In th= e Newsfeed navigation pane of the SQLDM Con= sole, click Applications = .
You can view information about your SQLDM application from th= e profile of an application or the App= lications tab in the IDERA Newsfeed Platform Manager console.
From the info tab of the profile, you can see general informa= tion such as:
From the Applications tab in the IDERA Newsfeed Platform Mana= ger console, you can view statistics such as:
In the Newsfeed navigation pa= ne of the SQLDM Console, click Applicatio= ns , and then click the name of the SQLDM application whose= wall you want to view. You do not have to follow the application to view i= ts wall.
In the Newsfeed navigation pa= ne of the SQLDM Console, click Applicatio= ns , and then click Follow = for each SQLDM application you want to follow.
Some applications, such as SQLDM, provide status updates and = system alerts about the health of their components. For example, SQLDM will= alert you when it detects an issue that involves the Collection Service or= if the Repository was recently offline. Following an application lets you = track these status updates from your feed.
= Comments allow you to interact = with an active story. Use comments for the following actions:
To add your comment to a story, select Comment in the story summary. =
Whenever you click Like in a comment, your coworker is notifi= ed giving them the opportunity to respond. &= nbsp;
A coworker is a teammate, manager, or coworker who has signed up = with the IDERA Newsfeed. You can send invitat= ions to anyone inside your SQL Server organization who also use= s SQL Diagnostic Manager.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click Cowork= ers .
No. Coworkers can be located in any geographic location, = and own servers that you are responsible for monitoring.
You can interact with your coworkers by:
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click Cowork= ers , and then click the name of the coworker whose wall yo= u want to view. You do not have to follow the coworker to view their wall.<= /p>
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click Cowork= ers , and then click Foll= ow for each coworker you want to follow.
Follow a coworker if you want to see their posts and rela= ted activity in your feed.
Followers are those coworkers who are following you or the servers you own. In turn, you can follow any coworker, server, or application whose posts and status updates interest you. Following someon=
e or something makes it easy to keep up with recent activity and collaborat=
e on specific issues.
When you choose to follow someone or something, you autom= atically begin to see their posts and status updates in your Most Recent feed. From the feed, you can easily:
Each profile lists who is= following that person or that server. You can always view stories, post questions, or post announcements to walls, even though you are not following them. You c= an choose to follow specific stories without following that coworker or ser= ver.
When you sign up with the IDERA Newsfeed, your account is= automatically set up to follow your own posts. This inclusion allows you t= o see your posts in the context of the Most Recent feed, just as your posts= will appear to your coworkers.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click either Coworkers, Application , or SQL Servers . Then, click Follow located next to the name= of the person or server you want to follow.
In the SQLDM Console, navigate to the Newsfeed, and click See All<= /span> located next to Followers in the right pane. To go to a specific = person's wall, click the appropriate thumbnail profile picture.
From the SQLdm Console, navigate to the Newsfeed, and then click S= ee All next to Following i= n the right pane. To go to a specific wall, click the appropriate thumbnail= profile picture.
You can follow specific stories shared by servers you are not following. You can also ignore specific stories shared by the servers y= ou are following.
From the SQLDM Console, nav=
igate to the wall of the server whose story you want to follow, Follow in the story summary.
When you give a like to a post of a= coworker you are following shares, it means that this information i= s important to you and you agree with the idea or the assessment.
To like a story, select <= strong> Like in the story summary= or tap Like on the acti= on menu of the Wall view.
When you like a post, your coworker may be notified of yo= ur action, giving them the opportunity to respond. If you want to change your assessment later, you can selec= t or tab Unlike the story= .
You can tag a coworker or= server in your po= st or comment by mentioning that person or thing. Mentioning a cowo= rker lets you notify him or her of a task that needs to be done or a questi= on you have. Mentioning a server lets you point out a problem, or draw corr= elations between similar events on different servers.
Mention someone or something can also have the following = effects:
To mention a coworker or server, type @ and then the name of the person or the name of the computer . The feed will automatically match the name t= o available coworkers and servers, refine the match criteria as you type. A= n available coworker is any person who has a Newsfeed account whereas an av= ailable server is any server that is being managed by an application.
You can mention someone or something "inline", in the con= text of the comment or post you want to make.
A bookmark is= a story that you consider important a= nd you want to keep track closely as it evolves. Bookmarking helps you perf= orm the following actions:
When you bookmark a story, it is copied to the Bookmarks = view. The IDERA Newsfeed Platform does not groom= span> bookmarked stories. Using bookmarks, you can keep an ongoing, histori= cal record of mission-critical issues and their solutions.
You can bookmark any story displayed in your Most Recent feed or on the wa= ll of a coworker or server you are following.= p>
To copy a story to your Bookmarks view, select <= span class=3D"GUI_Item">Bookmark in the story summary. A c= opy of the story remains in your feed. Bookmarked stories are not groomed.<= /p>
You can interact with your Bookmarks view in much the sam= e way you interact with your feed. Your bookmarked stories are listed in ch= ronological order, displaying the most recently updated story first.
You can scroll through your bookmarks, review updates, an= d add your comments. You can also remove a bookmark from this view by selec= ting Remove Bookmark in = the story summary.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click Bookma= rks .
To remove a story from your Bookmarks view, select
A copy of the story remains in your feed until the next g= rooming job starts.
Your directory is a list of all the applications, servers, and coworkers= span> registered with the IDERA Newsfeed. You can use the directory to go d= irectly to the wall of the person or server you are following.
In the SQLDM Console, the directory is integrated into th= e Newsfeed pane. In SQLDM Mobile, the direc= tory is a unique view. In either interface, you can browse the listings or = search for the specific people and things y= ou want to find.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click SQL Server= s, Coworkers, or Applications.
Favorites are= those people and things you already follow= but want easy access to their walls. By ma= rking a coworker or server as a favorite, the IDERA Newsfeed Platform creates a shortc= ut to that person or thing so that you no longer need to search for them or= use your directory to look them up.
In the SQLDM Console,shortcuts to your favorites are list= ed in Newsfeed navigation pane. In the SQLD= M Mobile interface, shortcuts to your favorites are displayed on the SQLDM = home page.
Consider limiting your favorites list to important people and servers, s= uch as your team members and the mission-critical instances for which you a= re responsible.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click the appropriate person or thing from you= r favorites list.
From the Newsfeed navigat= ion pane of the SQLDM Console, click Edit Favorite= s, and then choose the appropriate action for each person or thing i= n the list.
Your Most Recent feed is a real-time aggregation of stories initiated by the people and things you are following, including the lat= est interactions and updates. You can access this feed from both the SQLDM = Console and SQLDM Mobile.
You can declutter your feed by unfollowing a st= ory that is no longer important to you.
In the SQLDM Console, the Most Recent feed displays a tot= al of 200 stories, from most recent to oldest, in lists of 20 stories at a = time. You can interact with a story from within the feed by clicking one of= the actions or links available in the story summary.
The story summary provides a succinct synopsis of the sto= ry's evolution and activity, including the original post or status update, = a count of how many comments and updates have been made so far, as well as = links to more information and the actions you can take.
From most stories, you can:
By default, the Most Recent feed lists all of the most re= cent posts and status updates shared by the people and things you are follo= wing. This feed represents the state of your enterprise as of now.
You can filter the Most Recent feed to focus on stories f= or people, applications, or servers. You can also use the activity timeline to focus the feed on what happened during = a particular point in time.
Log in to IDERA Newsfeed from the SQLDM Console. By defau= lt, the Most Recent feed displays in the right pane.
Notifications keep you up-to-date on the latest activity initiated by the people and thi= ngs you follow, even when you are not logged in to the IDERA Newsfeed or SQ= LDM Mobile.
You can control what information you get and how you get = it. Edit your notification settings to choo= se which activities are important to you and whether you want to receive an= email when the SQLDM Mobile & Newsfeed Service sends you the corr= esponding notification.
To customize which notifications you receive, click
You receive notifications based on the notification setti= ngs you have enabled. By default, the SQLDM Mobile & Newsfeed Serv= ice generates notifications for most types of activity. Each time the speci= fied activity happens, the service notifies you in "real time" by updating = the My Notifications view and sending you an email.
Note that several notification settings rely on you, or s= omeone else, to interact with a post or status update.
Use My Notifications view to review notifications that ha= ve accumulated over the last 7 days. This view summarizes your notification= s per type of activity per day. Most notifications will include links to th= e servers and cowo= rkers who initiated the activity.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click Notific= ations and then click Edi= t Settings . On My Notification Settings view, enable email= notifications.
By default, the SQLDM Mobile & Newsfeed Service is configured t= o send you email notifications. If you ar= e not receiving notifications when you think you should, verify the&= nbsp; IDERA Newsfeed Platform configuration.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click Notifi= cations .
Depending on your SQLDM alert configuration and your IDER= A Newsfeed notification settings, you may receive more than one email that = notifies you about a server alert. To avoid duplicate emails about the same= alert notification, change one of these settings:
A post is an = announcement or status update that is share= d by a coworker, or shared by you about a c= oworker or server. All posts shared by coworkers you follow are displayed in chronological order, from most recent to = oldest, in your Most Recent feed.
You can like, bookmark, or comment o= n any post in your feed. This interaction is considered activity. When a po= st has activity, it becomes a story that ha= s a specific beginning (the original post) and end (the resolution). Previo= us stories and their activity can be tracked using the activity timeline available at the top of your feed and the wal= l of the coworker.
Each profile consists of a <= span class=3D"HelpLink">wall and an information page, providing a ce= ntralized location that displays all the data about a specific person or th= ing.
Each server, application, and coworkers has a profile. From their profiles, you can:
An application= profile consists of its wall and an= information page, providing a centralized location that displays all the d= ata about a specific application.
The application profile lets you:
A coworker profile consists = of its and an information page, providing a centralized location that displ= ays all the data about a specific person with whom you work.
The coworker profile lets you:
Your profile consists of
Your profile lets you:
To update other data, such as your email address or the p= rofile name that coworkers use to mention y= ou in SQLDM Mobile, change your account settings= span>.
A server profile consists of= its wall and an information page, pr= oviding a centralized location that displays all the data about a specific = server.
The server profile lets you:
A server is a= SQL Server instance that is monitored by a SQL Diagnostic Manager (SQ= LDM) application.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click SQL Server= s.
No. Servers can be located in any geographic location. Wi= thin the IDERA Newsfeed or SQLDM Mobile, you can access any server that you= would normally be able to monitor using the SQLDM Console.
You can interact with your monitored servers by:
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click SQL Se= rvers , and then click the name of the SQL Server instance = whose wall you want to view. You do not have to follow the server to view i= ts wall.
In the Newsfeed navigatio= n pane of the SQLDM Console, click SQL&nb= sp;Servers , and then click Follow for each SQL Server instance you want to fo= llow.
Follow a server if you want to see its status updates and= related activity in your feed. To get notified about specific alerts and events concerning the server, assign yourself as the server owner.
A status update is an event, alert, or other message published by an application for a server it is= managing. All status updates published by applications about servers you <= span class=3D"HelpLink">follow are displayed in chronological order,= from most recent to oldest, in your Most Recent f= eed. As more information about the event or alert is collected,= the application updates the original status.
You can bookmark or comment on any status update in your feed. This = interaction is considered activity. When a status update has activity, it b= ecomes a story. Previous stories and their = activity can be tracked using the activity timelin= e available at the top of your feed.
A story is a post or status update that= is experiencing activity. Stories track the life cycle of a post, from its= origin to the last activity. For example, when a = coworker has commented on a post, or= a server has a new status update about the= same alert, those activities are added to the story and displayed in chron= ological order under the original post. As this activity continues, the sto= ry is updated to reflect its current state.
Stories display both in your Mos= t Recent feed and on the corresponding server and coworker walls. In your feed, you will see only those stories= originated by the applications, coworkers,= and servers you are following. You can als= o choose to follow specific stories shared on the walls of coworkers and mo= nitored servers you are not following.
You can like, comment on,= or bookmark any post or server status upda= te.
Over time, stories are groomed from the SQLDM Mobile Repo= sitory. You can configure the age limit at which to groom old stories.
Walls display= chronological lists, from most recent to oldest, of shared posts and status updates.<= /p>
Each server, application, and coworker has a wall. From their walls, you can:
An application wall shows th=
e activity for a specific application. Use =
the wall to scroll through a chronological list of status updates, from most recent to oldest, that have been shared b=
y this application. You can also use the wall to communicate to anyone
The application wall lets you:
A coworker wall shows the ac= tivity for a specific coworker. Use the wal= l to scroll through a chronological list of posts<= /span>, from most recent to oldest, that have been shared by this person. Y= ou can also use the wall to communicate to anyone = following this person.
The coworker wall lets you:
Your wall shows the activity= initiated by you. Use the wall to scroll through a chronological list of <= span class=3D"HelpLink">posts, from most recent to oldest, that have= been shared by you and anyone who has posted to your wall. You can also us= e the wall to communicate to anyone following you.
Your wall lets you:
A server wall shows the acti= vity for a specific server. Use the wall to= scroll through a chronological list of status upd= ates, from most recent to oldest, that have been shared by this serv= er. You can also use the wall to communicate to anyone following the server.
