Dashboard overview
NOTE
Only devices in your area of responsibility (AOR) display in the dashboard.
The Dashboard tab (Figure 80) displays the status widgets, performance monitors, and the Master
Log. You can also display additional status widgets and performance monitors, as needed. The
Management application has the following default dashboards: Product Status and Traffic and IP
Port Health
The dashboard provides a high-level overview of the network and the current states of managed
devices. This allows you to easily check the status of the devices on the network. The dashboard
also provides several features to help you quickly access reports, device configurations, and
system logs.
The dashboard updates regardless of the currently selected tab (IP) or the LAN size. However, data
may become momentarily out of sync between the dashboard and other areas of the application.
For example, if you remove a product from the network while another user navigates from the
dashboard to a more detailed view of the product, the product may not appear in the detailed view.
