Using the CloudControl Appliance Dashboard

The appliance dashboard displays the following security widgets:

  • Compliance—Displays host compliance to currently enforced templates.
  • Admin Access—Displays the number of administrators per category
  • Protection—Displays resources and whether they are protected by RBAC policies.

Click the close button to remove widgets from the main display area. When closed, the widgets are represented by icons on the sidebar. Click the sidebar icon to return the widget to the main display area.

When displayed, each widget has the four following buttons in its title bar:

  • Show Summary—Displays a visual graphic of current state and trending chart over time. This is the default display for each widget.

  • Show Details—Displays information to drill down further for more information regarding the particular security posture metric.

  • Help—Displays popup with description of the security metric represented by the widget.

  • Close—Returns the widget to the selection bar.

The Admin Access dashboard and Compliance dashboard widgets also have enhanced configuration controls. You can configure a minimum and maximum range to control what their desired state is supposed to be in order to see how this changes over time in the trending charts.

You can export the graphical summarys on all open widgets to PDF. Close a widget if you do not want to include it in the PDF.

From the Details views, you can export all visible columns to a CSV file.

Note: Viewing the dashboard requires the Management.Dashboard.View privilege. Additionally, the Asc.ArcView privilege is required to view the compliance drill-down information for the Compliance widget.
