Report gadgets

Reports can be added to dashboards as gadgets, enabling continuous active monitoring of any specified network traffic/activity.

To create/configure a dashboard gadget for a report, follow these steps:

  1. Run the report (new or saved).

  2. In the output/results view, open the export options tray and select Add to Dashboard (or Edit Gadget, if the gadget was previously configured).

  3. Enter a name for the gadget. If the report has not been saved, it will be saved under the name entered.

  4. Select a dashboard to add the gadget to from the Dashboard Tab dropdown. Select Don’t send to dashboard to manually add the report gadget to dashboards at a later time.

  5. In the Type dropdown, select whether the gadget should show the report graph only, the table only, or both.

  6. [Graph or Graph & Table] Select the gadget graph type and the report column to sort by.

  7. [Table or Graph & Table] Use the checkboxes to select the columns to display in the gadget table.

  8. [Optional] Expand the Display Options section of the tray to modify the default layout and behavior of the gadget.

  9. Click the Save button to save the gadget configuration.

After a report gadget has been configured/saved, it will be included in the list of available gadgets when creating or editing a dashboard.

Note

  • To view a report in a dashboard, the current user must be granted access to both the report and the dashboard(s) through their user group.

  • If the default gadget name for a saved report is changed, a new saved report will automatically be created under that name. If the gadget is renamed multiple times, the saved reports are still created, but only the most recent name change is applied to the gadget.
