Overview Categories

Overview Categories is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the DDO categories that can be used in dashboards.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/metric/categories.

To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Metrics, and then Overview Categories.

Form Fields

• Name - The name of the category.

• Order - The order the tabs will be displayed in.

• Path - The path to the view or custom page that will render the DDO category.

  Below are the views that are provided by default and can be used in a category:

  #metric/allMetricsOverview?TimeRange=now-24h..now&MetricSource=All&DeviceSource=Device&DeviceName=<DeviceName>
  
  ----- OR -----
  
  #metric/networkTraffic/NetworkTrafficPanelView?DeviceID=<DeviceID>&TimeRange=now-24h..now
  

  Note:

  The default Network Traffic category uses the NetworkTrafficPanelView, and includes the interface metric types for Bandwidth, Discards and Errors, as well as the metric types Latency and Packet Loss.

  If a non-default category uses the NetworkTrafficPanelView, only metric types that are also included in the default Network Traffic category will be displayed. Metric types that are not in the Network Traffic category will not be displayed.

• Metric Types - Metric Types that will be included in the category.
