Dashboard pane

Dashboard displays all configuration items available in the TADDM CMDB through a pie chart. This chart provides flexibility to quickly view CI details. Each slice of the pie chart represents a configuration item category and can be identified by a corresponding call-out.

Following are the salient features of the pie chart:

  • Each slice of the pie chart represents a configuration item.
  • Each slice is illustrated with distinct colors.
  • You can click each slice to explode and explore related details.
  • Each slice has call-outs that describes the name of the configuration item and its count.
  • Under the pie chart, configuration item links are listed.

Chart customization

By default, all available configuration items are shown in the pie chart, and slice size depends on count of the configuration item. Hence, configuration items that have lower count are often not clearly visible in the pie chart. In this scenario, you can hide the configuration items that have large count to view the updated chart. Also, you can view the pie chart in full screen. In the full-screen mode, you can explore the enlarged pie chart where even the small slices are prominently visible.

To hide a configuration item, click the configuration item links under the pie chart. Similarly, you can unhide any configuration items.

Exploring detail of a configuration item

To explore detailed information for a configuration item, click the corresponding slice in the pie chart. A new pie chart appears and displays detail of the configuration items. This new chart illustrates subcategories of the configuration item. You can click again on the slices of the new chart to explore further. The inventory list displays the related component and its associated details. You can click component links to view related detail.
Note: Components links are active only for supported configuration items. For other configuration items, components links are not active.
