Intended Audience

The audience intended for this User’s Guide includes system administrators and users responsible for configuring and monitoring the Correlation platform. Users should have a working knowledge of operating systems, software applications, and network elements.

Organization

The Arbitrator platform design allows it to be used in multiple workflows. There isn’t any linear flow that has to be followed. However, there are some elements that need to be configured in a specific order. Those will be pointed out in each section. This document is categorized as follows:

1. Correlate: This is the main UI screen to visualize the monitored systems and manage alerts for those systems. This is the primary view where the user spends the most time. The views within this workspace are constantly updating with the newly gathered data.
2. Configuration: This is the workspace utilized to perform configuration, setup and installation of the platform.
