View tool application status

When you launch a tool, HP Operations Manager automatically displays the outcome in the Tool Status dialog box if the tool was configured to run on a node other than the console.

The dialog box gives information about the apply tool operation:

Status: Success or failure of the apply tool operation.
Action: Tool name.
Start/Finish Time: Initially the time when the tool was started. Changes to finish time when the tool has completed.
Node: Name of the node or service to which the tool was applied.
Command: The executed command.

Messages about the apply operation appear in the Tool Output box.

To stop or rerun a tool

You can cancel the application of a tool by clicking Stop. If the application fails to complete, the Stop button changes to the Rerun button, which you can click to reapply the tool.

NOTE:
When stopping a tool launch on a node that is not responding, you may see a "Server Busy" message and be unable to select another node in the list. This condition clears in a few minutes.

To save tool output

You can also save the results of the apply tool operations. Select one or more lines in the Launched Tools box and click Save. The output is saved in text format.
