Copying custom system dashboards

Copying custom system dashboards

In the device database, you can copy custom dashboards to and from other devices/VDOMs. After copying a dashboard to or from another device/VDOM, it can be customized further on each device individually, if needed.

Caution

When copying dashboards to and from other devices/VDOMs, the target device's/VDOM's current dashboard configurations will be overwritten.

You cannot copy a dashboard to or from devices on different ADOMs.

You can also copy custom dashboards from devices when adding a new device using discover mode, model devices, CSV file, or when authorizing a device. For example, see Adding online devices using Discover mode.

To copy custom dashboards from another device:
  1. Go to the device database to copy the custom dashboard to. See Displaying the device database.
  2. From the more options icon for the Dashboard menu, select Copy From Another Device.

    The Copy From Device pane is displayed.

  3. From the From Device dropdown, select a device to copy dashboards from, and click OK.

    A message asks you to confirm the action.

  4. Click OK.

    The dashboards are added to the device/VDOM with the same name and widgets as configured on the device/VDOM they were copied from.

To copy custom dashboards to other devices:
