Building a dashboard on the Console

Each dashboard acts as a canvas on which you place one or more dashlets. Each user can create as many as 10 personal dashboards on the Application Management Console (Console). After you create them, you can share dashboards with other users. 

 To perform this procedure, you must have Observer-level access. 

Before you begin

To enable your dashlets to display performance data for particular segments of traffic, you must define Watchpoints.

To see the Analyzer data on the Console dashlets, the Security user must set up the Analyzer in the following way:

1. Turn on the cross-domain-policy — On the Administration tab, click Security settings > Cross-domain policy, and then click ON.
2. Turn on the configuration API — On the Administration tab, click Security settings > Services, and enable the Configuration API access property.

To add a dashboard on the Console

1. On the Console, point to Application Monitoring > Dashboards, and click Create a new Dashboard.
2. In the Name box, type a name for the new dashboard.
3. Click Save.
4. Click Add a Dashlet.
5. Drag dashlets from the Dashlet library to the placeholders the dashboard (as shown on the figure below).
