NOTE: If you select any device group in the Device Groups drop down, then all the data displayed on the Dashboard will
be for only the selected device group.
By default, the Hardware Health section displays a Donut chart that indicates the current health of all the devices monitored
by OpenManage Enterprise. Click sections of the Donut chart to view information about devices with respective health statuses.
A Donut in the Alerts section lists the alerts received by devices in the selected device groups. See Monitor and Manage device
alerts on page 111. The total number of alerts in the Donut chart varies based on the setting to whether or not view the
unacknowledged alerts. By default, only the unacknowledged alerts are displayed. See Customize the alert display on page 158.
To view alerts under each category, click the respective color bands. In the Alerts dialog box, the Critical section lists the alerts
in critical status. To view all the generated alerts, click All. The SOURCE NAME column indicates the device that generated the
alert. Click the name to view and configure device properties. See View and configure individual devices on page 64.

Donut chart
You can view a Donut chart in different sections of your OpenManage Enterprise. The output displayed by the Donut chart is
based on the items you select in a table. A Donut chart indicates multiple statuses in OpenManage Enterprise:
● The health status of devices: Displayed on the Dashboard page. Colors in the Donut chart split the ring proportionally to
indicate the health of devices monitored by OpenManage Enterprise. Every device status is indicated by a color symbol. See
Device health statuses on page 38. If the Donut chart indicates the health status of 279 devices in the group, in which
131=critical, 50=warning, and 95=ok, the circle is formed by using color bands proportionately representing these numbers.
NOTE:
The Donut chart of a single device is formed by a thick circle by using only one color that indicates the device
status. For example, for a device in Warning state, a yellow color circle is displayed.
● The alert statuses of devices: Indicates the total alerts generated for the devices monitored by OpenManage Enterprise. See
Monitor and Manage device alerts on page 111.
