1 Dashboard

Visão geral

O módulo Monitoramento → Dashboard é similar a um painel de um carro, apresentando as informações mais importantes.

Os widgets do Dashboard podem ser agrupados em dois tipos: Favoritos e de Status. Os favoritos tem por função possibilitar a adição de links para acesso fácil, enquanto os de status tem por função mostrar visões agrupadas de determinado tipo de informação.

Todos eles suportam customização, podendo ser expandidos ou contraídos e ter sua posição modificada no dashboard.

Adding widgets

To add a widget to a dashboard:

• Click on the Add widget button in dashboard editing mode. The widget will be created in its default size and placed after the existing widgets (if any);

Or

• Move your mouse to the desired empty spot for the new widget. Notice how a placeholder appears, on mouseover, on any empty slot on the dashboard. Then click to open the widget configuration form. After filling the form the widget will be created in its default size or take up all the available space if its default size is bigger. Alternatively you may click and drag the placeholder to the desired widget size, then release. (When releasing you may need to click on Add widget if the Paste widget from a copied widget option is also available.)

Then, in the widget configuration form:

• Select the Type of widget
• Enter widget parameters
• Click on Add

The following widgets can be added to a dashboard:

• Action log
• Clock
• Data overview
• Discovery status
• Favorite graphs
• Favorite maps
• Favorite screens
• Graph
• Graph (classic)
• Graph prototype
• Host availability
• Problem hosts
• Map
• Map navigation tree
• Plain text
• Problems
• System information
• Problems by severity
• Trigger overview
• URL
• Web monitoring

In dashboard editing mode widgets can be resized and moved around the dashboard by clicking on the widget title bar and dragging it to a new location. Also, you can click on the following buttons in the top-right corner of the widget to:

• - edit a widget;
• - access the widget menu

Click on Save changes for the dashboard to make any changes to the widgets permanent.

Widget menu

The widget menu contains different options based on whether the dashboard is in the edit or view mode:

Widget menu	Options
In dashboard edit mode:	Copy - copy the widget Paste - paste a copied widget over this widget This option is grayed out if no widget has been copied. Delete - delete the widget
In dashboard view mode:	Copy - copy the widget Download image - download the widget as a PNG image (only available for graph/classic graph widgets) Refresh interval - select the frequency of refreshing the widget contents

Copying/pasting widgets

Dashboard widgets can be copied and pasted. They can be copy-pasted within the same dashboard, or between dashboards opened in different tabs.

A widget can be copied using the widget menu. Then the copied widget can be used to create a new widget with the same properties:

• using the Paste widget button when editing the dashboard
• using the Paste widget option when adding a new widget by selecting some area in the dashboard (a widget must copied first for the paste option to become available)

A copied widget can be used to paste over an existing widget using the Paste option in the widget menu.

Dynamic widgets

When configuring some of the widgets:

• Graphs (simple and custom)
• Plain text
• URL

there is an extra option called Dynamic item. You can check this box to make the widget dynamic - i.e. capable of displaying different content based on the selected host.

Now, when saving the dashboard, you will notice that a new host selection field has appeared atop the dashboard for selecting the host (while the Select button allows to select the host group in a popup):

Thus you have a widget, which can display content that is based on the data from the host that is selected. The benefit of this is that you do not need to create extra widgets just because, for example, you want to see the same graphs containing data from various hosts.

Viewing and editing a dashboard

When viewing a single dashboard, the following options are available:

		Switch to the dashboard editing mode.
		Open the action menu (see description of the available actions below).
	Sharing	Edit sharing preferences for the dashboard. Dashboards can be made public or private. Public dashboards are visible to all users. Private dashboards are visible only to their owner. Private dashboards can be shared by the owner to other users and user groups. For details on configuring sharing, see the map configuration section.
	Create new	Create a new dashboard. First you are prompted to enter general properties of the new dashboard - owner and name. Then, the new dashboard opens in editing mode and you can add widgets.
	Clone	Create a new dashboard by copying properties of the existing one. First you are prompted to enter general properties of the new dashboard - owner and name. Then, the new dashboard opens in editing mode with all the widgets of the original dashboard.
	Delete	Delete the dashboard.
		Display only page content (kiosk mode). Kiosk mode can also be accessed with the following URL parameters: /zabbix.php?action=dashboard.view&kiosk=1 To exit to normal mode: /zabbix.php?action=dashboard.view&kiosk=0

Editing mode is opened:

• when a new dashboard is being created
• when you click on the edit button of a widget
• when you click the Edit dashboard button for an existing dashboard

In the dashboard editing mode the following options are available:

	Edit general dashboard properties - name and owner.
	Add a new widget.
	Paste a copied widget. This button is grayed out if no widget has been copied.
	Save dashboard changes.
	Cancel dashboard changes.

Permissions to dashboards

• They can see and clone a dashboard if they have at least READ rights to it;
• They can edit and delete dashboard only if they have READ/WRITE rights to it;
