Tutorial 1: Creating a Dashboard
The term dashboard is used in vFoglight to denote a container that presents a pre-set
collection of visual data, but does not necessarily require any user interaction to
complete the picture. Technically, a dashboard cannot have any required context inputs,
although it can define additional context entries. A dashboard can be used to present an
overall view of the health of a monitored system through the use of colored buttons,
tabular data, various icons representing system alerts, and other graphical components.
It supports a drilldown mechanism to show web pages containing more detailed
information about the selected item.
This tutorial shows you how to create a dashboard that shows a table of all the hosts in
the monitored system.
User actions that cause the view to update will be covered in a subsequent tutorial.
