Build a Custom View for a Single Interface

You can create custom views that contain CA Network Flow Analysis data for a single interface. You can add these interface views to a custom dashboard.

Several interface views are available in addition to the views that are displayed by default on the interface pages.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the required administrative role rights.
2. Navigate to the dashboard page in CA Performance Center where you want to add a custom view.
3. Click the More menu, and select Edit Dashboard.

   The Edit Dashboard Layout page opens.

4. Click the Summary link above the view category list.

   The Select View Context dialog opens.

5. Select Interface from the Context Type list.

   A table of routers and interfaces appears.

6. Locate and select an interface in the table.

   A long identification string for the router and interface appears in the Context Item field.

7. Click OK.

   You return to the Edit Dashboard Layout page.

8. Expand the IP Flow category.
9. Drag one of the CA Network Flow Analysis interface views to the layout and drop it where you want it to appear.
10. Click Save to save the change to the dashboard.

    The dashboard page refreshes to show the generic view container. Its title and subtitle are 'Undefined'.

11. Click the Edit icon on the CA Network Flow Analysis interface view, and select Edit.

    The View Settings dialog opens.

12. Replace the default view Title with text to describe the custom view.
13. Select or enter any other view-specific settings that you want to change. For example, select the direction of data to display.

    Data from the new interface or setting will be shown in the custom view.

14. Select the scope of your changes from the Apply Changes drop-down. Select one of the following options:
    • For All Tenant Users: Saves the changes so that they are only available to users associated with your tenant (possibly the Default Tenant).
    • My User Account: Saves the changes to your user account as a default for this view.
    • My Current Session: Reverts the changes when you log out.

    Note: The availability of these options depends on your user account role rights.

15. Click Save.

    The view refreshes to reflect your updates.
