Adding a dashboard

In SolarWinds N-central, you can add dashboards that provide you with Kaspersky Lab-related information about the devices in your network.

The procedure below helps you create a dashboard example that will show devices for which the Kaspersky anti-virus protection status is Failed. Using a similar procedure, you can create other dashboards that meet your needs.

Adding a dashboard consists of two steps. First, you need to create a filter for the devices to be shown on the dashboard. Second, you add a dashboard with the created filter.

Creating a filter

To create a filter:

  1. In SolarWinds N-central, in the Configuration section, click Filters.
  2. Click the Add button.
  3. In Filter Name, specify the name of the new filter (in this case, Kaspersky failed devices).
  4. In Find devices where, specify the following condition:
    • Select a Category = Monitoring.
    • The second drop-down list = MSP N-central service is present.
    • Select an Operator = Equal to.
    • Select a Value = Kaspersky anti-virus protection status.
  5. Click the Add button.
  6. Keep the default and value.
  7. Specify another condition:
    • Select a Category = Monitoring.
    • The second drop-down list = MSP N-central service in status.
    • Select a Property = Kaspersky anti-virus protection status.
    • Select an Operator = Equal to.
    • Select a Value = Failed.
  8. Click the Save button.

The created filter is saved. You can find it in the list of filters.

Adding a dashboard

To add a dashboard:

  1. In the Dashboards section, click Manage Dashboards.
  2. Click the Add button.
  3. In Name, specify the dashboard name (in this case, Kaspersky failed devices).
  4. Under Filters, in Available Items, select the filer that you created earlier and click the chevron pointing to the right (Autotask_logo) to add it to Selected Items.
  5. Click the Monitoring Options tab.
  6. Under Services, in Available Items, select Kaspersky anti-virus protection status and click the chevron pointing to the right (Autotask_logo) to add it to Selected Items.
