Creating a new dashboardΒΆ

Creating a dashboard in the Monitor > Dashboards page allows users to enhance various network and security workflows by enabling tailored views to meet even the most specific monitoring or investigative needs. It also allows users to switch between different unique views to segregate monitoring requirements and workflows. Creating a dashboard is a highly recommended step when setting up a new Plixer Scrutinizer environment.

To create a new dashboard, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Dashboard Options icon (gear icon), and then click Add New Dashboard.

  2. Enter a unique name for the dashboard.

  3. (Optional) To set the dashboard as the default (for the current user), tick the Default Dashboard checkbox.

  4. (Optional) To lock the dashboard (cannot be edited), tick the Read Only checkbox.

  5. (Optional) Select the gadgets to add to the new dashboard from the Gadget Selection list.

Note

Gadgets can also be added or removed later as needed.

  1. When done, click Save to create the new dashboard with the selected gadgets, if any.

Once the dashboard has been created, it will replace the current view and can be accessed via Dashboard Options > All Dashboards at any time.

Hint

To use an existing dashboard as a base/template instead, create a copy from Edit Dashboard or Dashboard Options.
