Dashboards

The Dashboards page lets you visualize event time series data. This lets you use customizable modules to quickly:

  • Chart data.
  • Track trends.
  • View meters and endpoints with exceptions that occurred during a specified time range or view the affected devices on a map.
  • Aggregate data from multiple data sets.
  • View and create collections of modules and save them as dashboards.

About Events
Events are user-definable conditions that when met become active events. When the conditions are no longer met, the event has ended.

Events apply to network meters.
