Launch a Dashboard View
Launching a view lets you view the monitors active for a Dashboard view.
Some packages display a
Network Dashboard by default. If the Network Dashboard portlet is blank,
you can create a new one. Click the
select new text in the upper right corner of the portlet to select
an alternative, already configured view from those in
Dashboard Views portlet. Click the edit
button in that same corner to alter the configuration of any existing dashboard. See
Dashboard
Editor
on page 429 for more about altering views.
You can configure Dashboards appear by configuring them in the
Dashboard Views portlet, or by
selecting a device or devices from the Managed Resources portlet, right-clicking and choosing
Show
Performance
. To select more than one device, use the expanded Managed Resources portlet.
The first time you create a default template dashboard for a single device, OpenManage Network
Manager saves it in the
Dashboard Views manager. Invoking Show Performance for that device
subsequently displays its default view.
The icons in the dashboard’s upper right corner let you edit
Dashboard Properties with the
Dashboard Editor , or Save the dashboard with the other icon.
NOTE:
No need to reload the browser to update a dashboard; it reloads data every 30 seconds by default, with
less overhead.
Displaying Values
Hovering the cursor over the individual points displays the charted attribute value(s) as popup
tooltips. If a graph has multiple lines, the data points for different lines are charted at different
times (OpenManage Network Manager distributes polling to balance the load on its mediation
service). Hover the cursor over the time when a line’s data point appears, and that line’s value
appears as a tooltip. It may seem a device reporting the same value as others is not graphed
properly, but mousing over the graph displays the value.
