Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
Changes that you make to a dashboard view affect only your user account. If you decide to
completely change all of the dashboard views under your account, your user account is the
only account affected by these changes. For more information, see Managing dashboard
views (on page 868).
Device Status dashboards display only Device-level dashboard reports. Only dashboard
reports specific to a single device can be placed on a device dashboard. When you switch to a
different device in context, the reports displayed show data for the newly selected device. For
more information, see Adding dashboard reports to a dashboard view (on page 342).
The Top 10 dashboard displays Top 10 reports for your network devices.
Overview of dashboard report categories
WhatsUp Gold offers a collection of dashboard reports to display in a variety of ways on a
dashboard and provide useful network information at a glance. These smaller reports show
similar information to that found in the full reports. Because of their smaller size, multiple
reports can be placed in a dashboard view, making it possible to view multiple reports
simultaneously.
Dashboard reports are broken down into categories according to the type of information
they display:
Alert Center. These dashboard reports display information that pertains to device
thresholds and threshold summary information.
CPU Utilization. These dashboard reports display information that pertains to device
and network CPU levels.
Custom Performance Monitors. These dashboard reports display information that
pertains to your custom performance monitors.
Disk Utilization. These dashboard reports display information that pertains to device
and network disk capacity levels.
ELM. ELM dashboard reports display event summary and event alarm information. To
view these reports, you must have WhatsUp Event Log Management.
Flow Monitor. Flow Monitor dashboard reports display data from Flow Monitor and
can be used within Flow Monitor report views and WhatsUp Gold dashboard views.
General. These dashboard reports display information on your WhatsUp Gold

pertains to device interface data errors and data discards.
