Overview Dashboard
Monitor your network activity and performance on the Overview dashboard. The Overview dashboard
displays widgets that can help you proactively monitor and troubleshoot your network. The dashboard
provides a graphical representation of information related to devices, clients, and network traffic.
Depending on the report, the widget represents historical data or a combination of historical and the
latest data from shared memory.
Note
Historical data is persistent after system restarts and software upgrades, but not if the system
is restored to the factory defaults or from a backup.
ExtremeCloud Appliance is installed with a Default dashboard. You can customize the default
dashboard and add additional dashboards with custom layouts and a unique set of widgets. The
maximum number of supported dashboards is 10. The free-form dashboard can have a maximum of 10
widgets.

•
