Tutorial 1: Drag and Drop

This tutorial shows you how to create a custom dashboard using the Create Dashboard wizard. This wizard includes the following features:

Many of the Create Dashboard options are now wizard-driven, similar to the options for creating a report.

Also, you can create your own views based on data in the particular object that is selected.

The Web Component Guide describes how Foglight® organizes the data it collects. These objects (and metrics) are displayed using a special-purpose framework.

Creating a Custom Dashboard by Drag and Drop

The standard Foglight® dashboards have been designed to satisfy most monitoring needs, however Foglight is also highly extensible and, if your role allows it, it gives you the capability of designing your own custom dashboards. The simplest method for creating a custom dashboard is to use the Create Dashboard link available on the action panel’s General tab.
