Active Performance Monitor 763
Create a Dashboard View
1 To see the data monitored, you must create a Dashboard View for your new monitor. Click
Active Monitoring -> Dashboard Views to open the view manager.
NOTE:
You can also select a device or alarm in Resources, Topology, or Alarm managers and click action ->
Show Performance and see the Automatic Performance View. When you select this command
OpenManage Network Manager finds all of the performance attributes being monitored for the selected
equipment and creates a dashboard with one dashboard component for each attribute.
If you multi-select more than one device, each component shows the top five metrics for each attribute.
If you select only one top-level device, OpenManage Network Manager searches the device's interface
and port children for performance attributes and these attributes appear with the top five children for
each attribute.
The data that appears is based on the monitors that are monitoring that device and where Retain Data is
checked. If you have several monitors and you are retaining data on those monitors, the screen reflects
those data points.
If you select two devices in Resources manager and click action -> Show performance, OpenManage
Network Manager displays both of the devices’ common attributes in the form. (You cannot display
interface data because the devices do not have interfaces in common.)

Click action -> New to create a new view. By default this appears with two rows and three
columns. You can, however, change those numbers and click
Update to create a different
layout. For simplicity, our example has one column and row.
