The Dashboard provides a high-level overview of your Unitrends environment from a single pane of glass. It displays protection status for assets, and summaries for all backup storage and active jobs. In addition, you can access community forums to ask questions or get information.
The Dashboard tiles summarize information for the appliance you are logged in to, as well any managed appliances. For example, if you are logged in to an appliance that is managing two others, Backup Summary counts include jobs and assets on all three appliances.
While working with Dashboard you can:
• | Customize the Dashboard - To change the layout of the dashboard, click and hold the upper region of a tile, drag it to the desired location, and release. To specify which tiles to display, click the gear icon in the top right corner of the Backup summary tile, and select or clear tiles to display or hide them. |
• | Manually update the Dashboard tiles - The Dashboard tiles update hourly. To update the tiles at any time, click on the two-arrows icon in the top right corner of a tile. (Clicking the icon on the Backup Summary tile updates all other tiles.) |
• | Reset the Dashboard - To reset the Dashboard layout to its default mode for the current release, click the gear icon in the top right corner of the Backup Summary tile and click Reset. |
