Add a Dashboard Widget

Add a widget to the Web GUI Dashboard to display SIP and System statistics to help you monitor and manage the system.

You can add up to 18 widgets to the Dashboard with the Add widget control on the Web GUI Home page. The system does not require a reboot after adding a widget to the Dashboard.

Note:

If the system displays a warning that adding this widget requires the SIP.Message module to be enabled, the system enables the SIP.Message module when you add the widget.

1. From the Home page, click Add widget.
2. From the list of Widgets, click the name of the widget to add.
3. Under the Command column header, click Add for the widget to add.
   The system displays a success message.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Close.
   The system displays the Dashboard with the newly added widget.

See "Configure Data Sampling Settings for a Dashboard Widget."

Configure Data Sampling Settings for a Dashboard Widget

Confirm that the widget that you want to configure is on the Dashboard. See Add a Widget.

To see SIP and System statistics displayed on a Dashboard widget, the system requires a setting for how often to refresh the display. You can use the default interval or select one from the Auto-refresh interval drop-down list on the widget. Some widgets also display the Table Name drop-down list, where you can set the data sampling frequency. For example, you might configure the widget to refresh the display every 40 seconds and to display the data samples in one minute increments.

1. Click the Home tab.
2. On the widget, click the Settings icon.
3. Select a widget display refresh frequency from the Auto-Refresh Interval (seconds) drop down list.
4. If the widget displays the Table Name drop-down list, select a data sampling increment for the widget display.
5. Click OK.
