With the release of version 8.5, OpMon comes with a new Tactical overview Dashboard with a purpose to bring information relevant to monitoring and a flow of action. The Dashboard has 8 Widgets and in this post we will talk in detail about each one.
Before we start talking about each widget, in general each component has some common tools in the right of the title. The first icon has the function of updating the data, not all components have this icon, only the ones that will be updated in real time. By positioning the mouse over the icon, it will open a tooltip informing the last hour the data was updated. The second icon is just to guide the user and by positioning the mouse on it will open a tooltip containing information about the widget.
Now that we know the common tools of every widget, let’s see each one.
Incidents by state
This widget has an overview of all elements monitored in your OpMon, you will have the percentage of elements in each state and in the center shows how many percent in OK. Placing the mouse over a state will reveal how many percent of elements are in that state. You have the possibility to click on a state and will show the list of elements filtered by the state.
