Creating a Custom Dashboard
In this section you will create a new dashboard utilizing the query just created along with some other
useful default queries.
1 Click the Dashboards button on the favorites bar.
2 Click the Dashboard Actions drop-down and choose New.
3 Provide a name for the dashboard, such as Endpoint Status, select Public for Dashboard Visibility , and
then click OK.
4 You are then presented with a blank dashboard. Click the Add Monitor button.
5 Use the arrows to scroll through the Monitor Gallery toolbar and locate Queries. Drag the Queries
object down on to the blank dashboard.
6 In the New Monitor box that appears, select your new query VSE: Version w\Patch Level under
Shared Groups-VirusScan Enterprise, and then click OK.
7 Repeat this process by again dragging the Queries object to a gray area either below or to the side of
the first monitor. Note that the box is shaded as you drag it. It will state “Monitor will not fit here” if you
attempt to place it on top of another monitor. Choose the query titled VSE: DAT Deployment. Note
the monitors will resize themselves automatically. Repeat this process adding two additional queries:
Host IPS: Desktop High Triggered Signatures and Host IPS: Desktop Medium Triggered
Signatures. You can add additional monitors as desired, but note the more monitors you add, the
smaller they will appear on the dashboard. Optionally, you may choose to create distinct dashboards per
product showing the installation count, update status, and recent detections for VirusScan, and a
separate dashboard for Host IPS.
8 Click Save in the upper right corner, and then click Close in the upper left to return to the main
Dashboards page.
9 From the Dashboard drop-down, you can now choose your
VirusScan Status dashboard, listed under
Private Dashboards. It is only visible under your login. By clicking the Dashboard Actions drop-down
and choosing Edit, you can make your dashboard Public and, therefore, usable by other users of ePolicy
Orchestrator.
