Dynamic dashboards to monitor your information system
Define your dashboard to monitor your information system through reporting widgets integrated to Centreon MBI 3.0. Based on Centreon “custom view” mechanisms already very appreciated by our customers, we have created 11 widgets that exploit the availability data of Centreon and Centreon BAM, as well as metrology data.
With a mix of real-time and aggregated data, you will be able to analyze your IT’s abnormal behavior live as well as the applications on which you need to take action in order to respect your service level commitments.
Below is an example of a dashboard that can be created with the new widgets. Use this view to monitor the availability and performance of your company’s email service.
By combining these widgets with the Centreon ones you’ll have a complete dashboard, mixing both the live state of the IT and the monitoring of key indicators.
Check out the documentation to discover all available widgets.
