Foglight 7.3.0 - Dashboard Support Guide

Viewing Module Definition Statistics

A view can be a page, dashboard, home page, or have a combination of these purposes. For each module, the list shows the numbers of views that are defined as pages, reports, dashboards, home pages, global actions, pages (only), and the total number of views. The ratio of different view purposes in a module can reflect its complexity given its number of home pages, dashboards, and reports. It can also give you an idea on the work required to develop and maintain a module.

The Statistics tab on the Definition Statistics dashboard displays a summary of how views are used in individual modules or sub-modules.

To see module definition statistics:
1
On the Development Tools page, click Definitions Statistics.
The Definitions Statistics dashboard appears in the display area and the Module Selector appears on the navigation panel.
2
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.
3
In the Module Selector, select all modules and sub-modules whose view definition statistics you want to see.
The Definitions Statistics dashboard refreshes, showing the views defined in the selected modules.
4
Observe the view definition statistics.
For each module, the Definitions Statistics dashboard shows the numbers of views that are defined as pages, reports, dashboards, home pages, global actions, pages (only), and the total number of views.

To return to the Development Tools page, click Development Tools in the breadcrumb trail.

Viewing and Managing Persistence Storage Usage

The Persistence Storage Usage dashboard allows you to view the amount of data persisted to the database for each individual dashboard, and the size of these data blocks. For each data block, it shows its size and the date and time it was last modified. You can delete these data blocks to restore the dashboards to their original state, as required. Data blocks are stored in the database. Sorting them by size tells you which data blocks are utilizing highest amounts of database resources which may affect the overall database performance, and delete them, as required, to improve the database performance.

Validating Modules

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.
