Summary Dashboard
The intent of the Summary dashboard is to enable network and storage administrators to focus on particular areas of concern around the health and performance of data center switching. This information is provided as 24-hour snapshots. The functional view of LAN switching consists of six dynamic portlets that display information in the context of the selected scope by default. The scope can be adjusted in the upper right corner of the window to display focused information that is particular to the managed domain, and offers details of a specific topology or set of topologies that are a part of the data center scope.
The various scopes that are available on the Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) web interface are:
-
Data Center
-
Default_LAN
-
Custom scopes created by users
From the left menu bar, choose Dashboard > Summary. The Summary window displays the default dashlets.
The following are the default dashlets that appear in the Summary dashboard page:
-
Alarms
-
Data Center
-
Network Map
-
Link Traffic
-
Audit Log
-
Server Status
From the Dashlets drop-down list, you can choose additional dashlets so that they are added to the Summary dashboard.
The panels can be added, removed and dragged around to re-order.
