Event Dashboard overview
Use this window to view one or more categories of alert information. Each alert category is depicted by a monitor box, which represents a filter.
About monitor boxes
A monitor box contains the following buttons and fields:
- Filter name
- Displays the name of the filter that is associated with this monitor box.
- To edit the filter, click Edit Filters
next to the filter name. The Filter Builder is opened, and the data
and SQL query associated with the filter are loaded. - Total
- This value represents the total number of events that match the filter.
- Highest
- This value represents the highest severity among the alerts that match the filter.
- Lowest
- This value represents the lowest severity among the alerts that match the filter.
- Metric
- This value represents a calculation that is applied to the alerts that match the filter. This derived value shows the average, sum, lowest, or highest value of a selected column in the alerts database table that is being queried by the filter.
- Distribution meter
- This area shows the severity distribution of the alerts that match the filter. The colors used in the bars are preconfigured to identify the different severity levels.
You must make sure that the data sources specified in the filter and the data sources selected in the Event Dashboard contain identical fields; if this is not the case, an error message is displayed in the affected monitor boxes instead of event data.
