Device Dashboards

Purpose

Each type of device has its predefined dashboard

A dashboard will show general information about the device as well as very detailed information about its health, performance and historical data.

Dashboard types

Type	Description
Netweaver	Dashboard for Netweaver systems and associated instances like ABAP or JAVA
HANA	Dashboard for HANA DB tenant

Dashboard widgets

Device information will be displayed via dedicated widgets, such as graphs or tables

Those widgets will behave in the same way across dashboards and are described below

Header

Dashboard header helps to quickly identify the device and its current status:

Type icon

Current state

Device name

Device type

Device URI

----

Alarms overview

The alarm overview shows the number of current alarms associated to the device, by severity.

You can also see the grand total and the number of alarms received today

You can click on the widget to be redirected to the alarm application, filtering on the current device

Dashboads tabs

Dashboards have tabs to organize the information in an appropriate way.

It often starts by an Overview tab showing a summary of the device information

A given tab usually adresses a particular module or type of data from a given device

It is often possible to be redirected to a specific tab via a single metric panel in the cockpit or in the dashboard

Availability

This describes the current connectivity state of the system and its availability rate in the last 24h/7d

You can expand the panel to see state changes

Properties

Depending on its type and configuration, each system will have a different set of properties

Some properties can be discovered from devices, (Version, ...) and some others can be set manualy (Localization,...)

Single metrics

Displays the current value of a given metric

Shows metrics name, description and unit when available

Panel background can arbitrarily change color based on metric value or based on current alarms

If a dedicated tab is available in the dashboard, to click on the metric will open the tab and load its data.

Information tables

Tables are used to display metadata of various kinds, such as list of components with their associated health or performance metrics, list of items, etc...

A header describes table content and contextual information

Tables can often be expanded or collapsed

When enabled, a filter field allows to search for specific information

An export button allows to download the content of the table in a CSV format

The content of a table will often depend on the selected period

Graphs

Graphs display metrics data across a period of time.

Move the mouse over the graph to visualize instant metrics data

On some graph, you can zoom in using the mouse:

Click once to hide the tooltip (Click again to unhide the tooltip)

Click down and brush over the desired period

This will automatically reload the data for the selected period across all dashboard tabs

Period picker

The period picker allows to select the period of time to use to display device data

To change the period within a tab will also change the period of other tabs

You can select predefined periods, or set your own custom period via the custom period form or the date picker.

Custom period form and date picker allows to select a period with an offset versus current time

Example: Period: 24h Offset: 7d : Displays 24 hours of data from 7 days ago

Time units to use in custom period form:

Unit	Description
s	seconds
m	minutes
h	hours
d	days
w	week
y	year

Examples:

24h: 24 hours

30d: 30 days
