Viewing a List of Available Components

The Components page allows you to view:

• New components available for install.
• Currently installed components.
• Available updates to currently installed components.

You can further filter the list by component type, such as monitoring policy or report, by selecting a component type from the list in the Type column.

For some components, Update Center provides a link to a release notes page to provide you with further details before you install.

For example, the release notes for a monitoring policy includes:

• The version number.
• The minimum required version of Service Center.
• A description of the monitoring and alerting performed by the monitoring policy.

When a release note is available, the component's Description column includes a More Info link that opens the release notes in a browser tab.
