Foglight 5.9.1 - Dashboard Support Guide

Each Foglight™ module contains a collection of operational elements such as views, dashboards, sub-modules, and other entities. Use the Module Validation dashboard to validate a module or sub-module and review the related messages. For each selected module or sub-module, the list shows the total number of error, warning, and information messages, and then the number of error, warning, and information messages for each entity in the module. Drilling down on a message number shows the validation message in a separate dialog box. Use this information to improve module definitions as you develop.


	NOTE: If the Show deprecated definitions user preference setting is enabled, the numbers of messages related to deprecated components appear as a separate number in the list, and are marked Deprecated. To access the User Preferences, on the navigation panel, under Dashboards, select Configuration > User Preferences. For complete information about configuring user preferences, see the Foglight User Guide.


	NOTE: The Cartridge Developer role grants access to this dashboard. Your Foglight account must have this role to access this dashboard.

To validate a module:

On the Development Tools page, click Module Validation.

The Module Validation dashboard appears in the display area.

On the navigation panel, expand a node in the Module Selector.

A list of sub-modules appears.


	IMPORTANT: The type and collection of available modules depend on the range of installed cartridges.


	TIP: Selecting a sub-module in the tree allows you to narrow down the statistics for a specific set of views in a module.

In the Module Selector, select all modules and sub-modules that you want to validate.

The Module Validation dashboard refreshes, showing the views defined in the selected modules.

Observe the module validation statistics.

For each selected module or sub-module, the top table shows the validation state (Normal

, or Fatal

), and the number of error, warning, or informational messages associated with that component.

View detailed validation results for a specific module or sub-module.

In the top table, click a row containing a module or sub-module.

On the Module Validation dashboard, the Validation Details table refreshes, listing the individual module entities against which one or more validation messages are generated.
