What is “My dashboards”?
- Especially in large infrastructures, it is crucial to keep a transparent overview of network events, to quickly identify errors, and to be able to perform detailed analyses. In to the area-specific standard dashboards (WLAN & LAN, WAN & VPN, Security & Compliance and LANCOM Trusted Access), the new “My dashboards” section offers you extended features and a focus on the monitoring parameters you need for your work. Customize the metrics, filters, and views to your individual needs and create your own personalized dashboards—for faster, more informed decisions and efficient problem solving.
Via “My dashboards” you can design your monitoring views in the LANCOM Management Cloud exactly according to your requirements:
- Up to 11 user-defined dashboards per project
Customize the monitoring to your specific needs and workflows. - Fully customizable design
Configure the design, layout, widgets, and filters according to your wishes. - Optimized workflow thanks to new filter system
Using the new filter system, you define whether widgets follow the global dashboard filters or are fixed to a specific device or location. These settings can be adjusted during creation or later via the widget’s three-dot menu. - Isolated sandbox environment
“My dashboards” are only visible to you. Take advantage of the opportunity to try out new configurations without affecting your colleagues’ workflows.
