This section describes the features on your dashboard and how to use them. The dashboard is the home page of the administration site and provides several displays and graphs of key monitoring features. The dashboard includes the following sections:

• System messages—One or more system messages appear in a bar at the top of the page. Three types of system messages might appear at the top of the page:
  • Warning—Indicated by a red bar. Warning messages indicate the system is in a special state. For example, maintenance mode.
  • Alert—Indicated by a yellow bar. Alerts indicate time-sensitive issues such as license expiration dates.
  • Information—Indicated by a blue bar. Informational messages are present to notify you of important information. For example, to inform you that a first-time tutorial is available or to display the status of a disaster recovery procedure.
• System Monitor—This section displays the system status and time stamp and includes the following subsections.
  • Status—Indicates overall system status of Good or Down.
  • Meetings in Progress—Select to open the Meeting Trend page which displays the total number of participants and meetings on your system over a specified period of time. You can select the following:

    • 1 day—By default, data for the previous day is displayed. Use the date selector to select a single day during the preceding six-month period.
    • 1 week—By default, data for the previous week is displayed. Use the date selector to select a single week during the preceding six-month period.
    • 1 month—By default, data for the previous month is displayed. Use the date selector to select a single month during the preceding six-month period.

You can select a point on the Participants or Meetings graphs to show the Meeting list for the time slot specified on the graph.
  • Alarms—Displays the status of alarms you have configured. By default, alarm information is displayed as a percentage. Select Number # to change the alarm information to numerical data. Alarm threshold is displayed in the System Monitor section in graphical form and on the Alarms page in numerical form. You can select the graphs in the System Monitor section to view the Resource History page for the alarms that you have configured. See Viewing Your Resource History for more information. You can configure alarms for the following:

      Note	The storage alarm appears if you have configured a storage server. See Configuring a Storage Server for more information.

    • Video

  The guidelines for process status are as follows:

  Note	Only appears if you have configured a storage server.

• System—Displays the maximum number of users on your system, the version number, product URL, and the number of user licenses. If you are using a free-trial edition of Cisco WebEx Server, this section also indicates how many days are remaining in your trial period when there are 30 days or less. Select View More to go to Configuring Your System.
