Dashboard overview
NOTE
Only devices in your area of responsibility (AOR) display in the dashboard.
The Dashboard tab ( Figure 110 ) 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
SAN 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 (SANor Dashboard) or the SAN
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.
