We use dashboards to access collected data. The dashboards consist of widgets. The system offers some universal widgets that you can add to your new dashboards:
- sys_table
- sys_charts_timeline
- sys_filter_datetime
- sys_charts_doughnut
- sys_filter_short
- sys_filter_long
- sys_buttons_ack_status
- total
The system administrators can create many more custom widgets. To create a widget click on Add new button and choose widget type from the dropdown list. The platform supports following widget types:
- charts - draw various charts
- pivot table - compose pivot tables
- table - compose standard tables
- events_list - compose a table that allows commenting
- single_value - display a single value (count/latest/average)
- static_text - display text
- filter: date_time - form to enter time intervals
- filter: switch_buttons - custom buttons
- filter: general - form to add a filter
- face_match - search for a person using an uploaded photo
- video_stream - add a live stream to the dashboard
- video_archive - list the recorded video clips
- flows_heatmap - draw the flow maps
- servers_health - display state of the servers
Once you create a widget, it will be listed in UI Settings section and will be available under the dashboard's Action/Add element.
