Foglight for Active Directory views

Foglight displays monitoring data in views that group, format, and display data. The main types are described below.

Dashboards are top-level views that contain lower-level views. The dashboards supplied with Foglight, as well as those created by users, are accessible from the navigation panel.

Lower-level views can be added to dashboards or can be accessed by drilling down from a dashboard. They receive and display data directly from the Foglight Management Server or from other views. Some views filter or select data that appears in other views in the same dashboard. Some are tree views with expandable nodes for selecting servers, applications or data.

This section provides a description of the lower-level views on Foglight for Active Directory dashboards. The beginning of the section explains which views are available to find specific information for each of the Active Directory® objects:

•
Forest views
•
Domain views
•
Site views
•
Domain Controller views

The latter part of the section provides a detailed description of the information and metrics displayed in embedded views:
