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 below. 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 is 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 below.

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 below.

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.

...

  1. Default Status Dashboard: From the Dashboards -> Status tab -> Default tab, click the Configure icon -> Add Content. This is applicable when you have the default dashboard only.
    Configured Status Dashboards: From the Dashboards -> Status tab, select the configured status dashboard, click the Configure icon -> Add Content.
    Security
    Status Dashboard: From the Dashboards -> Status tab -> Security tab, click the Configure icon -> Add Content. This is applicable only when at least one member in the Grid has Threat Protection, RPZ, or Threat Analytics license. Note that the Security Status dashboard is a default dashboard and it cannot be renamed or deleted.
    Grid Manager displays thumbnails of the available widgets. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll through the widgets, as illustrated in the below Widgets Panel figure.
  2. Click an icon on the filter panel, as illustrated in the Widgets Panel figure, to add a widget to the desired dashboard. The Filter panel is categorized into the following:
    Cloud ,
    Security ,
    DNS/DHCP , and
    Reset .
    When you click on an icon, Grid Manager displays thumbnails of the widgets belonging to the respective filter. If you click filters one after the other without clicking Reset, Grid Manager displays thumbnails of all widgets along with the icon that indicates the category to which the widget belongs. Click Reset to view only those widgets that belong to the selected category.
  3. Select and drag a widget to the desired location on your dashboard. You can also click  icon to add a widget to the desired dashboard.
    After you add a widget to the dashboard, you can configure it to provide relevant data. You can also copy or move a widget, by selecting and dragging it to its new location on your dashboard. Grid Manager saves your dashboard configuration and displays it the next time you log in.
    You can turn on auto-refresh by clicking On in the Turn Auto Refresh field at the top of the dashboard to periodically refresh the contents of all widgets in the dashboard. Click Off to disable auto-refresh for all widgets in the dashboard. When auto-refresh is disabled, you can enable it for individual widgets by clicking the Configure icon in the corresponding widgets. You can specify the auto-refresh period in seconds. The default auto-refresh period is 30 seconds.

    Warning
    titleWarning

    If the Detailed Status panel is open, the following actions take place:

    • Grid Manager auto refreshes at a rate of 30 seconds.
    • Widgets that support user-specified auto refresh, refresh at the rate specified in the Auto Refresh Period field.

    Therefore, even if you set the session timeout to be to greater than the auto refresh rate, auto refresh still takes place. The Grid Manager session does not time out because auto refresh takes precedence over the session timeout. 

    Widgets have the following icons:

...

  1. From the Dashboards -> Status tab, click the Configure icon -> Global Dashboard Properties.
