XPLG Dashboards
An XPLG Center Dashboard is a portal that contains widgets. Multiple dashboards may be defined under an App context. Each widget in the dashboard is used to display visual or textual information from the logs that exist in the XPLG environment.
Each widget displays the data that the user requested to view in the widget's definition. For example, three widgets can be displayed in a dashboard for displaying search results, filtered logs and Analytics summary. Widgets simplify and expedite performing searches and operations on the log file. For example, instead of going each time to the XpoSearch search engine and running a search, you can define widgets for viewing these search results in different visual manners.
XPLG has an engine that enables customizing multiple dashboards, each for a different purpose. For example, you can define four dashboards – for application problems, performance problems, network issues, and security.
Each dashboard can contain multiple widgets, with each widget displayed in one of the available visualizations: Line Chart, Bar Chart, Column Chart, Pie Chart, Data Table, Events List, etc. The widgets can be organized within the dashboard in any of several predefined layouts. Also, any widget can be dragged and dropped to a preferred location on the dashboard page.
Each dashboard contains a header bar with the name of the dashboard and different actions on the dashboard (see Dashboard Options).
Its widgets are arranged in the main pane in the layout selected in the dashboard definition.
