Dashboard

The oveview Dashboard gives a holistic view of your sites. There are also dashboards available at the entity level for specific information about individual devices, roles, and so on.

When you log in, the overview dashboard displays by default. Navigate to this dashboard at any time by selecting Dashboard from the left menu.

The overview dashboard displays widgets with system level data and dashboard controls.

The Widgets

The dashboard widgets help you proactively monitor your network or troubleshoot an issue, and display data at the system level. (There are also widgets available for the entity level dashboards.) The dashboard's physical layout is customizable and configurable.

Dashboard

Summary data values greater than or equal to ten thousand (10,000) are displayed with the suffix K. For example, if the actual value is 11,215, then the displayed value will be 11.21K. Similarly, the widgets display a value with the suffix M for values over a million (1,000,000).

Use the dashboard widgets to determine where you need to access more detailed information. For example, looking at top access points by throughput, select a specific AP in the list at the bottom of the widget. The chart information will change to show the throughput for the selected AP, and the name of the AP turns gray. Select the AP again to display the information for all of the top access points (and the name of the selected AP turns black again). Use the widget controls to filter the widget, print data, and change the viewing size.

Example of Widget

The dashboard widgets are classified according to the data they access. Categories include Utilization, Radio Frequency (RF), Switch, Clients, Captive Portal, and Application Visibility. Widgets from any of the categories can be combined to customize the dashboard layout.

Multiple dashboards can be created with different layout and widgets. A maximum of 32 dashboards can be created per customer account.

Widget Controls

Filter the data or change the view of a widget using the controls located in the top right of each widget. Not all controls are available for each widget. The following table describes the widget controls:
