Dashboard

Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a customizable, grid-based overview of your monitoring environment. It allows you to create a personalized view by adding, arranging, and configuring various widgets that display real-time data about your devices, issues, locations, and commands.

Overview

The dashboard uses a flexible grid layout where you can add multiple widgets to monitor different aspects of your system. Each widget can be moved, resized, and customized to suit your monitoring needs.

Working with Widgets

Adding Widgets

Widgets can be added to your dashboard through the widget drawer. Each widget type displays specific information about your monitoring environment:

• Counters: Display numerical statistics for devices, issues, locations, or commands
• Charts: Visualize data trends and distributions using donut charts, bar charts, or line charts
• Lists: Show recent items such as recent issues or commands
• Tables: Display detailed tabular data with filtering options
• Trend Indicators: Show trend analysis for various metrics over time

Moving Widgets

In edit mode, you can rearrange widgets by dragging and dropping them to different positions on the grid. The dashboard automatically adjusts the layout to accommodate the new arrangement.

Resizing Widgets

Widgets can be resized by dragging their edges or corners. Each widget type has minimum and maximum dimensions to ensure optimal display of its content. Some widgets support different aspect ratios:

• Counter widgets: Can be displayed in wide (row) or square (column) formats
• Chart widgets: Require larger minimum sizes to properly display visualizations
• List and table widgets: Can be expanded vertically to show more items

Configuring Widget Settings

Many widgets include configurable settings that allow you to customize what data they display and how it’s presented. To access widget settings, click the menu button on a widget and select “Edit widget”. Available settings vary by widget type and may include:

• Filters: Configure which data to display (e.g., issue types, severity levels, command states)
• Data limits: Set the number of items to display in lists and tables

Removing Widgets

To remove a widget from your dashboard, click the menu button on the widget and select “Delete widget”. You’ll be asked to confirm the deletion.
