<title>Overview of Cluster Monitor</title>
<h1>Overview of Cluster Monitor</h1>

The Cluster Monitor graphical user interface consists of two main parts: the
    <a href="clustmon/front_panel">Front Panel</a>
and the
    <a href="clustmon/message_viewer">Message Viewer</a>.
<p>

The
    <a href="clustmon/front_panel">Front Panel</a>
is a graphical picture of your cluster configuration that highlights
any components or subcomponents that require attention, similiar to the way the front display
on a photocopier alerts users.  <p>

The
    <a href="clustmon/message_viewer">Message Viewer</a>
allows you to look at the individual messages generated by the
components and subcomponents and, when appropriate, suggests what actions to take in response to the messages. <p>
