Creating a dashboard

It is possible to create a new dashboard in two ways:

• Click on Create dashboard, when viewing all dashboards
• Select Create new from the action menu, when viewing a single dashboard

You will be first asked to enter general dashboard parameters:

When you click on Apply, an empty dashboard is opened:

To populate the dashboard, you can add widgets and pages.

Click on the Save changes button to save the dashboard. If you click on Cancel, the dashboard will not be created.

Adding widgets

To add a widget to a dashboard:

• Click on the button or the Add widget option in the action menu that can be opened by clicking on the arrow. Fill the widget configuration form. The widget will be created in its default size and placed after the existing widgets (if any);

Or

• Move your mouse to the desired empty spot for the new widget. Notice how a placeholder appears, on mouseover, on any empty slot on the dashboard. Then click to open the widget configuration form. After filling the form the widget will be created in its default size or, if its default size is bigger than is available, take up the available space. Alternatively, you may click and drag the placeholder to the desired widget size, then release, and then fill the widget configuration form. (Note that when there is a widget copied onto the clipboard, you will be first prompted to select between Add widget and Paste widget options to create a widget.)

In the widget configuration form:

• Select the Type of widget
• Enter widget parameters
• Click on Add

The following widgets can be added to a dashboard:

• Action log
• Clock
• Data overview
• Discovery status
• Favorite graphs
• Favorite maps
• Graph
• Graph (classic)
• Graph prototype
• Host availability
• Problem hosts
• Map
• Map navigation tree
• Plain text
• Problems
• System information
• Problems by severity
• Trigger overview
• URL
• Web monitoring

In dashboard editing mode widgets can be resized and moved around the dashboard by clicking on the widget title bar and dragging it to a new location. Also, you can click on the following buttons in the top-right corner of the widget to:

• - edit a widget;
• - access the widget menu

Click on Save changes for the dashboard to make any changes to the widgets permanent.

Copying/pasting widgets

Dashboard widgets can be copied and pasted, allowing to create a new widget with the properties of an existing one. They can be copy-pasted within the same dashboard, or between dashboards opened in different tabs.

A widget can be copied using the widget menu. To paste the widget:

• click on the arrow next to the Add button and selecting the Paste widget option, when editing the dashboard
• use the Paste widget option when adding a new widget by selecting some area in the dashboard (a widget must be copied first for the paste option to become available)

A copied widget can be used to paste over an existing widget using the Paste option in the widget menu.

Creating a slideshow

A slideshow will run automatically if the dashboard contains two or more pages (see Adding pages) and if one of the following is true:

• The Start slideshow automatically option is marked in dashboard properties
• The dashboard URL contains a slideshow=1 parameter

The pages rotate according to the intervals given in the properties of the dashboard and individual pages. Click on:

• Stop slideshow - to stop the slideshow
• Start slideshow - to start the slideshow

Slideshow-related controls are also available in kiosk mode (where only the page content is shown):

• - stop slideshow
• - start slideshow
• - go back one page
• - go to the next page

Adding pages

To add a new page to a dashboard:

• Make sure the dashboard is in the editing mode
• Click on the arrow next to the Add button and select the Add page option

• Fill the general page parameters and click on Apply. If you leave the name empty, the page will be added with a Page N name where 'N' is the incremental number of the page. The page display period allows to customize how long a page is displayed in a slideshow.

A new page will be added, indicated by a new tab (Page 2).

The pages can be reordered by dragging-and-dropping the page tabs. Reordering maintains the original page naming. It is always possible to go to each page by clicking on its tab.

When a new page is added, it is empty. You can add widgets to it as described above.

Copying/pasting pages

Dashboard pages can be copied and pasted, allowing to create a new page with the properties of an existing one. They can be pasted from the same dashboard or a different dashboard.

To paste an existing page to the dashboard, first copy it, using the page menu:

To paste the copied page:

• Make sure the dashboard is in the editing mode
• Click on the arrow next to the Add button and select the Paste page option

Page menu

The page menu can be opened by clicking on the three dots next to the page name:

It contains the following options:

• Copy - copy the page
• Delete - delete the page (pages can only be deleted in the dashboard editing mode)
• Properties - customize the page parameters (the name and the page display period in a slideshow)

Widget menu

The widget menu contains different options based on whether the dashboard is in the edit or view mode:

Dynamic widgets

When configuring some of the widgets:

• Graphs (simple and custom)
• Plain text
• URL

there is an extra option called Dynamic item. You can check this box to make the widget dynamic - i.e. capable of displaying different content based on the selected host.

Now, when saving the dashboard, you will notice that a new host selection field has appeared atop the dashboard for selecting the host (while the Select button allows selecting the host group in a popup):

Thus you have a widget, which can display content that is based on the data from the host that is selected. The benefit of this is that you do not need to create extra widgets just because, for example, you want to see the same graphs containing data from various hosts.

Permissions to dashboards

Permissions to dashboards for regular users and users of 'Admin' type are limited in the following way:

• They can see and clone a dashboard if they have at least READ rights to it;
• They can edit and delete dashboard only if they have READ/WRITE rights to it;
• They cannot change the dashboard owner.

Host menu

Clicking on a host in the Problems widget brings up the host menu. It includes links to host inventory, latest data, problems, graphs, dashboards, web scenarios and configuration. Note that host configuration is available for Admin and Superadmin users only.

Global scripts can also be run from the host menu. These scripts need to have their scope defined as 'Manual host action' to be available in the host menu.

The host menu is accessible by clicking on a host in several other frontend sections:

• Monitoring → Problems
• Monitoring → Problems → Event details
• Monitoring → Hosts
• Monitoring → Hosts → Web Monitoring
• Monitoring → Overview (on Hosts: left)
• Monitoring → Latest data
• Monitoring → Maps
• Reports → Triggers top 100

Problem event popup

The problem event popup includes the list of problem events for this trigger and, if defined, the trigger description and a clickable URL.

To bring up the problem event popup:

• roll a mouse over the problem duration in the Duration column of the Problems widget. The popup disappears once you remove the mouse from the duration.
• click on the duration in the Duration column of the Problems widget. The popup disappears only if you click on the duration again.
