Customizing an Out-of-the-Box Dashboard

You can customize out-of-the-box dashboards in Enterprise Manager to meet your specific requirements.

By customizing an out-of-the-box dashboard, you can add filters and widgets, remove the widgets that you do not need, alter the size of the widgets and change the layout to ensure that the widgets that have data of importance are prominently displayed.
To customize a dashboard and add a widget:
  1. Navigate to the Dashboards page.
  2. For the out-of-the-box dashboard that you want to customize, click the Actions icon and click Duplicate.

    Note:

    To duplicate the out-of-the-box Target Summary dashboard, you must first open it, specify Target Type and Target Name, click Actions in the upper-right corner, and then click Duplicate.
  3. In the Duplicate dashboard dialog, specify a name for the duplicate dashboard and click OK.
  4. Click the name of the duplicate dashboard on the Dashboards page to open it.
  5. Click Actions and then click Edit to go to the edit mode.

    In the edit mode, click the Actions icon in the upper-right corner of each widget to delete the widget, alter its size, or change the layout by moving the widget.

  6. Optionally, click + Add time selector to add a time selector that will allow you to select a duration of time for which you want to display data in the widgets in the dashboard.
  7. Optionally, in the Filters tab, click or drag and drop the filter you want to add to the dashboard and select an option in the drop-down list to narrow down and view data within the context of the selected option.
  8. Optionally, in the Widgets tab, create a custom widget or click or drag and drop an out-of the box widget to add it to the dashboard.

The dashboard is in view mode. In the view mode, click the Actions icon on a widget and then click Export to CSV to export widget data to a CSV file. Note that the Export to CSV option is disabled if the widget does not support this feature.

If you want to make changes to the contents of the dashboard, click Actions in the upper-right corner of the dashboard and then click Edit to go to the edit mode.
