Dashboard and widgets

This section contains information about the dashboard and the widgets that the dashboard provides. The section includes instructions on how to manage widgets and configure widget settings.

Using the dashboard

The dashboard allows you to monitor security trends on your organization's network by providing you with a graphical display of information.

The dashboard is available in the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console, in the Monitoring & reporting section, by clicking Dashboard.

The dashboard provides widgets that can be customized. You can choose a large number of different widgets, presented as pie charts or donut charts, tables, graphs, bar charts, and lists. The information displayed in widgets is automatically updated, the update period is one to two minutes. The interval between updates varies for different widgets. You can refresh data on a widget manually at any time by means of the settings menu.

By default, widgets include information about all events stored in the database of Administration Server.

Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console has a default set of widgets for the following categories:

• Protection status
• Deployment
• Updating
• Threat statistics
• Other

Some widgets have text information with links. You can view detailed information by clicking a link.

When configuring the dashboard, you can add widgets that you need, hide widgets that you do not need, change the size or appearance of widgets, move widgets, and change their settings.

The set of settings depends on the specific widget. Below are some of the common settings:

• Web widget scope (the set of objects for which the widget displays information)—for example, an administration group or device selection.
• Select task (the task for which the widget displays information).
• Time interval (the time interval during which the information is displayed in the widget)—between the two specified dates; from the specified date to the current day; or from the current day minus the specified number of days to the current day.
• Set to Critical if these are specified and Set to Warning if these are specified (the rules that determine the color of a traffic light).

After you change the widget settings, you can refresh data on the widget manually.

1. In the main menu, go to Monitoring & reporting → Dashboard.
2. Click the settings icon () next to the widget that you want to move.

About the Dashboard-only mode

You can configure the Dashboard-only mode for employees who do not manage the network but who want to view the network protection statistics in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console (for example, a top manager). When a user has this mode enabled, only a dashboard with a predefined set of widgets is displayed to the user. Thus, he or she can monitor the statistics specified in the widgets, for example, the protection status of all managed devices, the number of recently detected threats, or the list of the most frequent threats in the network.

When a user works in the Dashboard-only mode, the following restrictions are applied:

• The main menu is not displayed to the user, so he or she cannot change the network protection settings.
• The user cannot perform any actions with widgets, for example, add or hide them. Therefore, you need to put all widgets required for the user on the dashboard and configure them, for instance, set the rule of counting objects or specify the time interval.

You cannot assign the Dashboard-only mode to yourself. If you want to work in this mode, contact a system administrator, Managed Service Provider (MSP), or a user with the Modify object ACLs right in the General features: User permissions functional area.

Configuring the Dashboard-only mode

Before you begin to configure the Dashboard-only mode, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

• You have the Modify object ACLs right in the General features: User permissions functional area. If you do not have this right, the tab for configuring the mode will be missing.
• The user has the Read right in the General features: Basic functionality functional area.

If a hierarchy of Administration Servers is arranged in your network, for configuring the Dashboard-only mode go to the Server where the user account is available on the Users tab of the Users & roles → Users & groups section. It can be a primary server or physical secondary server. It is not possible to adjust the mode on a virtual server.

To configure the Dashboard-only mode:

1. In the main menu, go to Users & roles → Users & groups, and then select the Users tab.
2. Click the user account name for which you want to adjust the dashboard with widgets.
3. In the account settings window that opens, select the Dashboard tab.

   On the tab that opens, the same dashboard is displayed for you as for the user.

4. If the Display the console in Dashboard-only mode option is enabled, switch the toggle button to disable it.

   When this option is enabled, you are also unable to change the dashboard. After you disable the option, you can manage widgets.

5. Configure the dashboard appearance. The set of widgets prepared on the Dashboard tab is available for the user with the customizable account. He or she cannot change any settings or size of the widgets, add, or remove any widgets from the dashboard. Therefore, adjust them for the user, so he or she can view the network protection statistics. For this purpose, on the Dashboard tab you can perform the same actions with widgets as in the Monitoring & reporting → Dashboard section:
   • Add new widgets to the dashboard.
   • Hide widgets that the user doesn't need.
   • Move widgets into a specific order.
   • Change the size or appearance of widgets.
   • Change the widget settings.
6. Switch the toggle button to enable the Display the console in Dashboard-only mode option.

   After that, only the dashboard is available for the user. He or she can monitor statistics but cannot change the network protection settings and dashboard appearance. As the same dashboard is displayed for you as for the user, you are also unable to change the dashboard.

   If you keep the option disabled, the main menu is displayed for the user, so he or she can perform various actions in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console, including changing security settings and widgets.

7. Click the Save button when you finish configuring the Dashboard-only mode. Only after that will the prepared dashboard be displayed to the user.
8. If the user wants to view statistics of supported Kaspersky applications and needs access rights to do so, configure the rights for the user. After that, Kaspersky applications data is displayed for the user in the widgets of these applications.

Now the user can log in to Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console under the customized account and monitor the network protection statistics in the Dashboard-only mode.
