Dashboard Drill Down
The dashboard lets you quickly assess your overall security and performance status, then lets you drill
down into detailed information about the data the dashboard summarizes. You can then drill even
farther down into specific device or event information. The following graphic shows dashboard drill-
down.
By double-clicking the Rogue Exploit column in the Top Criticalities chart, the Alarms tab is displayed
showing Rogue Exploit alarms.
Alarm Time Reporting
AirDefense reports alarms and device information and trac statistics every minute. To understand the
data that appears in AirDefense, you must understand how AirDefense addresses system time versus
the local GUI time, particularly in regard to alarms.
When an alarm occurs, AirDefense detects the alarm in system time, and records this time in its
database. You can configure AirDefense system time by using the Command Line Interface (CLI) found
in the Configuration menu.
However, when reporting the alarm to the GUI, AirDefense adjusts the report time to your local system
time zone. It uses this time to report alarms in the Alarms tab, and it also reports other statistical data in
this manner. The last updated time on each GUI screen (indicated by the time stamp) correlates to the
local system where the browser is running. You configure the GUI time for your local system.
