Dashboard Widgets
By default, the Dashboard displays
widgets in a Layout of 3 Columns but
you can customize the Dashboard to display
only 2 Columns, instead.
You can also decide which widgets to display or hide so that
you see only those you want to monitor. To display a widget, select
a widget category from the Widgets drop-down
and select a widget to add it to the Dashboard (widget names that
appear in faded grayed-out text are already displayed). Hide (stop
displaying) a widget by closing the widget (
![]()
in the
widget header). The firewalls and Panorama save your widget display
settings across logins (separately for each administrator).
Refer to the Last updated timestamp to
determine when the Dashboard data was last refreshed. You can manually
refresh the entire Dashboard (
![]()
in the
top right corner of the Dashboard) or you can refresh individual
widgets (
![]()
within
each widget header). Use the unlabeled drop-down next to the manual
Dashboard refresh option (
![]()
) to
select the automatic refresh interval for the entire Dashboard (in
minutes): 1 min, 2
mins, or 5 mins; to disable automatic
refresh for the entire Dashboard, select Manual.
