8 The Widgets Tab Display and Operations

The Web GUI displays the Widgets tab, which you can use to access graphical views of System, Media, and Signaling data about the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller and a few configuration dialogs. The views, called Widgets, correspond to an Acme Command Line Interface (ACLI) show command.

On the Widgets tab, you can click links to the Widgets you want to see and add Widgets to the Dashboard and Favorites list.

Scroll to see them all. When you click a link in the center pane, the Web GUI displays the data for the specified Widget. The following screen capture shows an example.
