Dashboard
Dashboard Overview
The Dashboard is the first page you will see when you log in to Resolve Insights. Your Dashboard displays the most important information in your network. It provides status, monitoring, and reporting information.
The information on the dashboard is displayed through widgets, either in the form of charts or in tabular format. You can customize the data that is displayed in your Dashboard, by selecting the dashboard layout and selecting specific widgets.
The Dashboard shows the customer specific infrastructure and this may vary based on what resources you have at the cloud data center.
The Dashboards show the overall health of each critical application infrastructure service. You can get the high-level picture of your data center's performance and status. Visualize and optimize the value of application infrastructure resources easily and effectively. Keep track of everything in near real time. Get quick statistics on App Groups, Servers/VMs, Applications, and Critical Events. From here, drill down from the highest cloud data center to the lowest level of troubleshooting detail.

The Host CPU And Memory widget displays each VM host's free and used CPU and memory. You can choose to view the data in capacity or percentage metrics.

The Datastore Capacity widget displays each datastore's free and used space. You can choose to view the data in capacity or percentage metrics.
Phrases Map
The Phrases Map widget displays the number of VM devices per predefined phrase criteria.
Filtering by Device Group and Category
You can filter the information displayed in the Dashboard by device Group and Category and visualize only the data for a specific device group or category. A device group is a number of devices grouped together in accordance with your specific business needs. Device groups can in turn be combined into device group categories for an even more detailed overview of your system.
To filter by device group or category, in the upper Main Menu bar, hover your mouse pointer over Select Group or Select Category and click the one by which you want to filter.
For example, if you select a specific category, the view will only show information about the devices included in the device groups associated with this category, in this case "Virtual".
To return to viewing all devices again, go to another Insights view, such as Inventory, and then return to Dashboard.
The filters are only visible if there are existing Device Groups and Categories in your Insights instance.
The Device Groups and Categories drop-down lists are independent. Device Groups always lists all existing groups regardless of your selection in Categories.
You can only filter by one category or one group at a time. If a category is selected and you then select a group, the category filter will be cleared and the results will be filtered by the selected group, and vice versa.
