A status dashboard contains widgets from which you can view and manage data. Widgets are the building blocks of status dashboards. For more information about widgets, see Adding Widgets to Dashboards. They provide information about different aspects of your Grid and networks. For example, the Member Status widget provides general information about a Grid member, and the Network Statistics widget provides data for a specified network.
The appliance provides a default status dashboard. Grid Manager displays the default dashboard only when there are more than one widget on the dashboard. You can add and modify widgets in the default dashboard, but you cannot rename or delete it. From a dashboard, you can access your most commonly accessed tasks and monitor appliance status. You can configure your own status dashboards to which you can add widgets that help you manage different data. Configuring multiple status dashboards helps organize widgets in a meaningful way and improves dashboard and widget performance. This is especially useful when you have a Grid serving a large number of Grid members. When you configure a new dashboard, you can use the existing dashboard as a template. You can create up to 100 copies at a time using the Add Dashboard option. For information about how to add status dashboards, see Adding Status Dashboards.
You can add widgets to different dashboards, however, you can add only one widget at a time on each dashboard. The default number of widgets per dashboard is 10. The maximum number of widgets that you can add on each dashboard is 20 at a time. You can define the number of widgets that can be configured on each dashboard in User Profile. This limitation applies only to dashboards that you configure and does not apply to the default dashboard. For information about how to specify the widget limit, see Configuring Widget Limit per Dashboard.
Grid Manager provides a default Security dashboard if you have installed any or all of the following licenses on the appliance: Threat Protection, RPZ, and Threat Analytics. The Security dashboard contains widgets that help you monitor the security status of the Grid. In the Security dashboard, you can add and remove widgets, but you cannot rename or delete them.
