Configuring the Dashboard
Only users who are members of the
admin
group (and the
root
user) can configure and access the
dashboard. To configure a custom dashboard:
Select
System: Configure Dashboard
and select the user (or group) you are configuring this
custom dashboard layout for.
Click
Next.
Note:
You can configure a custom dashboard for any
admin
user or for the
admin
group or you can
reconfigure the default dashboard.
The
Status:Dashboard
screen is the first screen displayed when
admin
users (other than
root
) log
into the console manager. If you log in
as ―
John
,‖ and John is member of the
admin
group and
there is a dashboard layout configured for John, then you will see the dashboard for John upon
log-in and each time you click on the
Status:Dashboard
menu item.
If there is no dashboard layout configured for John, but there is an
admin
group dashboard
configured, then you will see the admin group dashboard instead. If there is no user dashboard or
admin group dashboard configured, then you will see the default dashboard.
The
root
user does not have its own dashboard.
Use the above configuration options to enable admin users to setup their own custom
dashboards.
The Dashboard displays six
widgets
. These widgets include each of the Status screens (alerts, devices,
ports ups, rpc, and environmental status) and a custom script screen. The
admin
user can configure
which of these widget is to be displayed where:
Go to the
Dashboard layout
panel and select which widget is to be displayed in each of the six
display locations (widget1 …6).
