System and User Dashboards

In Foglight®, there are two types of dashboards: system and user. System dashboards are preconfigured and delivered with Foglight. User dashboards are created or modified by users. Depending on your permissions, System dashboards may or may not be displayed in the Dashboards page that you see.

Foglight comes with preconfigured views, queries, renderers, tasks, icons, files, types, and units. Users can view and copy these definitions, and with the proper permissions they can change them as well. Alternatively, you can create and modify your own User modules. Similar to System modules, you can view and copy modules created by another user but you cannot modify those definitions.

As 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.

See the Web Component Tutorial for instructions on creating new views.

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 Foglight® 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 option buttons.

You can place views on the navigation panel. The contents of the view should be related in some way to navigation. For instance, you might provide a list of items, and each item would load a corresponding view in the console’s main view area. When a page adds a view to the navigation panel it is persisted. Clicking an item in the list reloads the parent page corresponding to the item.

You can place views on the action panel as well. A customizer can be placed here, as well as other views that provide additional information and a legend for the page in the console’s main view area.

Data and Data Sources Pages

The Data node is only visible to users with administrative privileges in Foglight®. On the left side of the page is a navigation tree. Each node represents a Root Query that has been configured to return a data object hierarchy. You can add nodes by configuring a new query and marking it as a UI Query.

The Data page displays some of 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 for more information about the query mechanism.

The Data Sources tab allows you to add or remove multiple data sources. Using the query mechanism, WCF components look for data in the data source to populate the views.

Definitions Pane

The Definitions pane is your workspace for creating, viewing, and editing items in the Web Component Framework.

Views are the Web Component Framework objects that display data. The components that are shown in the Module List pane are those that have been defined for the node you have selected in the Module Contents pane. See the Web Component Reference online help pages.

Queries allow you to select a set of data objects of the same type. Pages and views extract and use data from the queries for values and context settings. See Queries .

Function definitions allow you to return data of a declared output type given an expected input.

Upload files such as images to the module’s public directory. See Files .

Each icon can be a collection of images of different size. See Type Mappings .

Associations provide a mechanism to organize references into entities. See Associations .

Renderers determine how values is displayed. Various renderer types are available for customization. See Renderers .

Type mappings associate entities such as renderers, icons and flows to a specific data type or data type property. At run-time, the Web Component Framework will look up the entities mapped to these types and properties to use as defaults if more specific entities have not been specified.

The name of the mapping is a combination of the data source name and the data type name. See Type Mappings .

Maps the unit of measurement to a data source and a renderer. The name of the mapping is a combination of the data source name and the unit name. See Theme and Module Resources .

Tasks are applications external to the Web Component Framework that can be launched from within a view. See Tasks .
