One-click dashboard templates<\/a> are among a number of tools available within eG Enterprise to allow organizations to rapidly set up targeted and bespoke views for a wide range of audiences across their organizations, whilst avoid the costs and inconsistencies of building and maintaining many individual dashboards.<\/p>\n

<\/span>One-Click Monitoring Dashboards in eG Enterprise<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to a wealth of out-of-the-box dashboards that are installed and populated by default ready-to-go upon installing eG Enterprise, for several versions we have had a One-click Dashboard feature that uses templates. These templates provide domain specific overviews for specific technologies and components, for example, generic servers or Java applications. To start monitoring a specific server or group of servers the administrator simply has to create a one-click dashboard, choose the desired template and then configure the GUI to point it at a particular server, a subset of servers or all servers as appropriate.<\/p>\n

eG Enterprise supplies a number of built-in templates or users can choose to make their own templates using the GUI editor, or as of v7.2 export existing dashboards as templates.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to use One-Click Dashboards in eG Enterprise<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our \u201cJava Application\u201d is a particularly popular template as it allows those deploying Java apps to create dashboard overviews for new Java application servers in seconds which they can share with the teams responsible for or involved with that specific server.<\/p>\n

To setup a one-click dashboard, go to the \u201cMonitor\u201d tab in the eG Enterprise console and select Dashboards -> My Dashboard -> Dashboards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Figure 1: From the “Monitor” tab in the eG Enterprise console follow menus Dashboards->My Dashboard -> Dashboards to access One-Click Dashboards<\/div>\n

Once on the Dashboards pane, choose \u201cAdd New\u201d or the \u201c+\u201d icon and you will be offered the choice to create a custom dashboard or a One-Click Dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 2: Choose the One-Click dashboard option<\/div>\n

Once you have chosen the one-click dashboard option. You will be presented with a single simple form with a few fields to set that once completed will create your dashboard with a SINGLE CLICK of the \u201cCreate\u201d Button \u2013 it is that easy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 3: The one-click interface – a selection of ready-to-go templates will be available based on what technologies you are monitoring. In this case the deployment includes AWS Services, and EMC components.<\/div>\n

First, fill in your Dashboard Name and Component as you please. Then choose a template from those available which will include any eG Enterprise predefined ones available for the components monitored by eG Enterprise in your environment (you won\u2019t see this list cluttered with templates for things you aren\u2019t using), plus any templates you have created for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 4: Here I selected the \u201cServer Contention\u201d template new to v7.2 and the component list was automatically populated with the set of servers for which the template is appropriate. From this I selected the three Citrix Virtual Apps 7.x servers I had in the test lab. Clicking \u201cCreate\u201d instantly created the dashboard.<\/div>\n

After creating the dashboard it should soon become populated with data. Many of these new dashboards have been designed for use at scale to minimize the amount of unnecessary information presented. When applying this dashboard to 100 rather than 3 Citrix XA servers it would otherwise become rapidly overloaded with data on healthy servers. This means healthy metrics regarding servers not experiencing contention are not added and helpfully only the servers of concern are shown.<\/p>\n

Widgets on the Server Contention dashboard will show those servers with concerning symptoms such as \u201chigh CPU queue\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Figure 5: Note only 2 of the 3 Servers are exhibiting \u201cHigh CPU Queue\u201d symptoms so only they are shown.<\/div>\n

The recently released version 7.2 of eG Enterprise<\/a> includes new additional dashboard templates for our one-click dashboard feature for several technologies, including:<\/p>\n
