Configuring Dashboards

If you find that the default pre-defined dashboards do not conform to your needs,

OmniVista SafeGuard Manager allows you to copy the existing dashboards and then

customize them accordingly or create new ones from scratch. Each dashboard comprises

of the following three tabs:

■ Layout—The Layout tab is where you define how the modules are positioned and

displayed in a panel. This is where you also define the order in which the

dashboards are to be displayed.

■ Modules—Within any given module, you can configure bars. Each module

should have a minimum of one bar. You can select the number of modules you

want displayed and how they are displayed. The modules can be configured by

the user and OmniVista SafeGuard Manager also comes with pre-defined system

modules. The system modules within a dashboard can be of the following sizes:

— Regular height and width

— Pre-defined half-height

— Pre-defined double-width (displays in two columns)

The configurable modules will always be of regular height and width.

Any user-configured modules can be cloned or edited; however, only the system

modules that are of regular height and width (User Login Failures, Policy

Incidents, Users with Policy Incidents, Malware, Unauthenticated User incidents,

Posture incidents (Unhealthy, Bypass, Quarantine) can be cloned or modified on a

global level, not on a per-user or per-role basis. Any newly cloned (copied) or

created dashboard layout can then be modified to rearrange the layout. Any

module can only be replaced with a module of the same size. For information on

how to configure modules, see Defining Modules within a Dashboard

■ Bars—A bar is the smallest component of the dashboard that describes which

query template is to be used. Each bar in a module corresponds to a query that

retrieves data from the server. The Bar tab is where you define the bar display

attributes and their titles. For more information on bars, see Defining Bars within a

Module.

NOTE: OmniVista SafeGuard Manager does not allow you to

configure all modules. Only the User Login Failures, Policy Incidents,

Users with Policy Incidents, Malware, Unauthenticated User incidents,

Posture incidents (Unhealthy, Bypass, Quarantine) modules can be

cloned or modified on a global level, not on a per-user or per-role basis.
