Calendar Help
POMS interfaces to the services data at https://fifemon.fnal.gov to determine if there are any issues or service downtimes based on specific criteria. If an interruption in service is detected, the data gets stored in the POMS database. This calendar represents the downtimes recorded. Related service items are grouped together and are color coded; look at the legend in the screenshots to see this. Red is the default color for items that do not belong to any particular category.
Not only is this a representation of ACTUAL service disruptions but also of SCHEDULED planned downtimes, which users can create. Simply click on a day in the calendar, and follow the prompts. The default span for a downtime is the entire day, however this can be modified by dragging and dropping the start and end times around in the day and week views. Take note that you can also move a downtime from one day to another by simply dragging and dropping the item in the month view. Users can not create their own service name for a SCHEDULED downtime, it has to be a service that POMS knows about.
Only SCHEDULED downtimes can be modified.
If you prefer, you can also click on a SCHEDULED downtime to modify its values.
The main purpose of this calendar is to help users triage their jobs.
Here is an overview of what the calendar looks like. You can curse through the month/week/day by using the left and right arrows that appear below the legend, dependent on the category (month/week/day) selected on the mid top right.
Here we illustrate creating a scheduled downtime for May 5, 2016 by simply clicking on the day itself. A popup appears showing us a list of available services to create a scheduled downtime for. Go ahead and copy the one you want, and select "Close".
Paste that value in the text field, and select "OK".
Here you are getting the status of the update. If all went well, you should see an "Ok." message.
We are now done, and can see our newly created scheduled downtime set for May 5, 2016.
