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:
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.
