About Dashboards

Dashboards are AJAX-powered and display real-time and dynamically updated monitoring status providing system users with quick answers to questions about overall network health, alerts regarding issues or problems, and information to help make decisions that impact the business. Dashboards incorporate critical data from available portlet instances and display this information on a web page where you can navigate and drill-down into specific host and service information.

We'll also cover the My GroundWork page which enables a user to create dashboards with personal views of monitoring information that are private to each user account.
• Dashboards How To's - These how to's walk you through common Dashboard tasks.
