Pre-built Widgets of My Dashboard
eG Enterprise offers a range of pre-built widgets that are ready to use when included in the My Dashboard.
Figure 1 : The list of pre-built widgets
Let us discuss each of these widget in detail in the forthcoming sections.
-
Alarms
To view the list of currently open problems in your environment, you can use the Alarms widget. To include an Alarms widget in the dashboard, click on the Alarms widget that appears in the right panel when you click the Widgets Gallery option (see Figure 1). The Alarms widget will then be appended to the dashboard with the alarms that are currently open in your environment as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 : The Alarms widget that shows the current alarms in your environment
The first section of Figure 2 lists the overall count of Open Alerts and the count of alerts raised for each severity (Critical/Major/Minor). You can even view the count of alarms that were acknowledged in the target environment from the Acknowledged Alerts section.
In the next section, every alarm generated for a component is listed in detail. Clicking on an individual alarm will lead you to the layer model of the particular component for which the alarm was raised. If you do not wish to get a detailed list of alarms and instead wish to view the count of alarms generated for each component based on the severity, then you need to set the AlertDistributionByServer flag in the <EG_INSTALL_DIR>\manager\config\eg_customdashboard.ini file to yes. By default, this flag is set to No.
Figure 3 : The Alerts widget that shows the alarms based on severity for each component
Clicking on the alarm count under the CRITICAL, MAJOR and MINOR columns in Figure 3 will lead you to Figure 4 which will show you the description of the alarm, start time of the alarm and the detailed diagnosis of the measure that caused the alarm.

Problem Distribution
To view the distribution of problems that occurred over a chosen time period, identify the count of problems that are currently open and figure out the maximum time duration for which a problem has remained open, you can use the Problem Distribution widget. Using this widget, you an analyze when exactly during the past week, maximum number of problems were noticed in the target environment. To add this widget to your dashboard, click on the Problem Distribution option in the right panel that appears upon clicking the Widgets Gallery (see Figure 1).
Figure 23 : The Problem Distribution widget that appears in the dashboard
The Problem Distribution widget will then appear as shown in Figure 23. By default, this widget consists of two sections - a KPI section and a bar graph displaying the distribution of problems (based on the severity) that occurred during the chosen Timeline. The default Timeline is 1 week. This is why, 1 week is chosen from the Timeline list.
The KPI section reveals the total count of problems noticed in the target environment during the past 1 week. By merely looking at this section, administrators can figure out the count of problems that were closed/are open during the chosen timeline. This section also provides insights into the number of problems that were acknowledged during the chosen timeline. Administrators can also figure out the average problem duration and the maximum duration for which a problem was open from this section. By closely analyzing this section, administrators can figure out how well their environment has fared in the past 1 week and also take stock on the count of problems that need to be closed.
The bar graph offers you a day-wise distribution of the Critical, Major and Minor problems encountered by the target environment during the past 1 week. By analyzing this graph, administrators can figure out the exact day on which maximum number of critical/major/minor alerts were raised in the target environment.
Clicking the vertical dots in Figure 23 reveals a drop down list with a few additional settings relevant to the Pro Active Alerts widget as shown in Figure 24.
