Dashboards
Dashboards is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing dashboards within Oracle Communications Unified Assurance.
For information about interacting with the grid and form, see Standard Configuration Interface in Unified Assurance Concepts.
In addition to the standard Add, Clone, and Delete buttons, the Dashboards UI also contains the following buttons:
-
Export: Select a dashboard, then click Export to export a JSON file containing the dashboard properties, such as Name, OwnerUserID, and the panel specific data such as Device Name.
-
Import: Click Import to import a JSON file from your local machine containing dashboard properties. The import process validates that the basic required dashboard properties, such as a unique Name, are present, but does not validate panel-specific data. You must ensure that the panel data is accurate.
For example, you can successfully import a dashboard with valid basic properties, even if the panels reference invalid device names. You can then modify the panels on the imported dashboard to ensure that they use valid data.
You must not delete the dashboards provided by Unified Assurance. Various packages expect their existence. These dashboards have a lock icon next to the name when viewing the UI.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/dashboard/dashboards endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.
To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Dashboards, and then Dashboards.
See Dashboard Design in Unified Assurance Implementation Guide for more information about designing dashboards.
