Dashboards
The Dashboards page displays both real-time monitoring and historical trends of your system metrics.
From the Dashboard, you can:
- Select specific data to focus on and filter your results to narrow down your view
- Customize the panels on your dashboard
- Use panels to see more information and set alerts
Filtering the Dashboard
You can filter the dashboard to focus on different areas of focus. By default, the Dashboard shows statistics relating to data ingestion. You view built-in dashboards by clicking the title of each page (for example, Ingestion Monitor) and selecting a topic from the drop-down list.
You can view the following built-in dashboards:
- Ingestion
- Data Lake
- Services
- Streaming
- System
In some views, you can filter your results to show information from a specific server, node, memory area, ID, and more. You can also narrow down results to a specific time period and set the refresh rate.
Customizing the Dashboard
You can customize the FortiAnalyzer-BigData dashboard by adding new panels, creating custom settings, and saving those settings. Once you've customized the dashboard, you can share the dashboard.
