Data becomes useful only when it is presented clearly to the right audience. OpManager has an extensively customizable dashboard that helps transform monitored data into actionable intelligence for the enterprise IT department. With over 90 widgets, the dashboard can be molded for individual administrator requirements as well as scaled to meet whole IT management needs.

Users can make and set their own dashboard to be displayed as home page so as to know on critical metrics as soon as they log in. Consider the below server administrator's dashboard and see how he troubleshoots slow performance on the Order Processing System of the company:

• Custom dashboard shows high response time for OPS server which is running the Order Processing System, under ‘Devices with Alarms’
• ‘Device by CPU Utilization’ and ‘This week Disk utilization’ show no trouble with the OPS server.
• Administrator notices high memory Utilization in the OPS server under ‘Devices by Memory Utilization’.
• ‘Interfaces by Bandwidth Utilization’ show normal trend in OPS server traffic.

Clearly, it was high memory utilization in the OPS server that caused the unusual response time spike in the Order Processing System.

The dashboard provides an at-a-glance overview of the current status of your network, with critical metrics from routers, switches, firewalls, servers, services, application, URLs, printer, UPS and other Infrastructure devices. One-click data refreshment ensures you're always working with the most up-to-date information. With real-time performance graphs readily available, administrators can also quickly troubleshoot problem devices remotely.

• Network alarms and events so as to highlight the device which needs immediate attention
• Availability and response time on devices, URLs, WAN links and services
• Health and performance statistics of
  • Network devices
  • Servers, Services and Applications
• Interface/ port availability and performance
• Real Time Graphs for critical network resource and links
• Maps grouped by vendors or by device types (infrastructure snapshot)
• Business views (Custom device grouping based on geographical location or business services or a logical mapping)
