The Web Component Framework 71
Managing Dashboards
As was mentioned previously, you can copy and make modifications to an existing
view, or you can create an entirely new view. The choice depends upon how similar to
an existing one the new page must be. These remarks apply to queries as well. It is
better to copy and modify a complex query rather than recreating it if only a few
changes are required.
Dashboard Page Navigation
You can select items in the views that refresh the page (drop-down menus or radio
buttons) or click links to display pages with more detail. A list of links to previous pages
(breadcrumbs) is located at the top of the page. The current page is highlighted in bold.
At any time, you can move back using the breadcrumbs.
You navigate around vFoglight dashboards from summary dashboards down to detailed
pages (drill-down) and back up the hierarchy. Navigation is controlled through menus,
links, drop-down lists, and radio buttons.
Caution The pages display dynamic data. Therefore, you should use the links, and not the built-in
navigation controls of your browser. Using the links refreshes the data on the page.
Data and Data Sources Pages
The Data Sources tab is only visible to users with administrative privileges in
vFoglight. On the left side of the page is a navigation tree. Each parent node represents
a group of vFoglight servers, by version. Individual servers are listed below the parent
nodes.
The Data page displays the available data objects that have been instantiated on the
currently running monitored system for which views have been created and for which
root queries have been defined. See “Queries” on page 75 for more information about
the query mechanism.
The Data Sources tab allows you to add or remove multiple databases. Using the query
mechanism, Vizioncore Web components look for data in the data source to populate the
views.
