Widgets

Overview​

A widget is a fundamental element of a dashboard that displays data related to the infrastructure for monitoring.

Adding a Widget to the Dashboard​

The data on dashboard is shown at the widget level. In order to make effective dashboards, you need to add and create different types of widgets to the dashboard. The widgets differ from each other in the data they display and how they display it. You can configure these widgets to display data vital to your business, infrastructure health, or both.

Go to Main Menu, Select Dashboard . The default dashboard screen is displayed.

Click at the bottom-right corner of the screen. A pop up to create and add a new widget to the dashboard is now displayed.

You can select either a Pre-defined or a User-Defined widget if you want to add a widget that is already created to the dashboard.

You can also create a new widget to add to the dashboard. Let us look into how to create a new widget in detail.
