Dashboard

In the Dashboard section, you can monitor the security status of your organization's network.

The dashboard is a set of widgets that display network security data analytics. You can view data only for those tenants to which you have access.

A selection of widgets used in the dashboard is called a layout. You can create layouts manually or use predefined layouts. You can edit widget settings in predefined layouts as necessary. By default, the dashboard displays the Alerts Overview predefined layout.

Only users with the Main administrator, Tenant administrator, Tier 2 analyst, and Tier 1 analyst roles can create, edit, or delete layouts. Users accounts with all roles can view layouts and set default layouts. If a layout is set as default, that layout is displayed for the account every time the user navigates to the Dashboard section. The selected default layout is saved for the current user account.

The information on the dashboard is updated in accordance with the schedule configured in layout settings. If necessary, you can force the update of the data.

For convenient presentation of information on the dashboard, you can enable TV mode. This mode lets you view the dashboard in full-screen mode in FullHD resolution. In TV mode, you can also configure a slide show display for the selected layouts.

Creating a dashboard layout

To create a layout:

  1. In the KUMA Console, select the Dashboard section.
  2. Open the drop-down list in the top right corner of the Dashboard window and select Create layout.

    The New layout window opens.

  3. In the Tenants drop-down list, select the tenants that will own the created layout and whose data will be used to fill the widgets of the layout.

    The selection of tenants in this drop-down list does not matter if you want to create a universal layout (see below).

  4. In the Time period drop-down list, select the time period from which you require analytics:
    • 1 hour
    • 1 day (this value is selected by default)
    • 7 days
    • 30 days
    • In period—receive analytics for the custom time period. The time period is set using the calendar that is displayed when this option is selected.

      The upper boundary of the period is not included in the time slice defined by it. In other words, to receive analytics for a 24-hour period, you should configure the period as Day 1, 00:00:00 – Day 2, 00:00:00 instead of Day 1, 00:00:00 – Day 1, 23:59:59.

  5. In the Refresh every drop-down list, select how often data should be updated in layout widgets:
    • 1 minute
    • 5 minutes
    • 15 minutes
    • 1 hour (this value is selected by default)
    • 24 hours
  6. In the Add widget drop-down list, select the required widget and configure its settings.

    You can add multiple widgets to the layout.

    You can also drag widgets around the window and resize them by clicking the DashboardResize button that appears when you hover the mouse over a widget.

    You can edit or delete widgets added to the layout by clicking the gear icon and selecting Edit to change their configuration or Delete to delete them from the layout.

    • Adding widgets

      To add widget:

      1. Click the Add widget drop-down list and select required widget.

        The window with widget parameters opens. You can see how the widget will look like by clicking the Preview button.

      2. Configure widget parameters and click the Add button.
    • Editing widget

      To edit widget:

      1. Hover the mouse over the required widget and clicking the gear icon that appears.
      2. In the drop-down list select Edit.

        The window with widget parameters opens. You can see how the widget will look like by clicking the Preview button.

      3. Update widget parameters and click the Save button.
  7. In the Layout name field, enter a unique name for this layout. Must contain 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
  8. If necessary, click the gear icon on the right of the layout name field and select the check boxes next to the additional layout settings:
    • Universal—if you select this check box, layout widgets display data from tenants that you select in the Selected tenants section in the menu on the left. This means that the data in the layout widgets will change based on your selected tenants without having to edit the layout settings. For universal layouts, tenants selected in the Tenants drop-down list are not taken into account.

      If this check box is cleared, layout widgets display data from the tenants that are selected in the Tenants drop-down list in the layout settings. If any of the tenants selected in the layout are not available to you, their data will not be displayed in the layout widgets.

      You cannot use the Active Lists widget in universal layouts.

      Universal layouts can only be created and edited by Main administrators. Such layouts can be viewed by all users.

    • Show CII-related data—if you select this check box, layout widgets will also show data on assets, alerts, and incidents related to critical information infrastructure (CII). In this case, these layouts will be available for viewing only by users whose settings have the Access to CII facilities check box selected.

      If this check box is cleared, layout widgets will not display data on CII-related assets, alerts, and incidents, even if the user has access to CII objects.

The new layout is created and is displayed in the Dashboard section of the KUMA Console.
