Dashboard pages display dynamic views of data that CA Performance Center receives, interprets, and formats from registered data sources. Views, or data views, present statistical data, usually in a graph or table format. Each view represents a discrete set of collected data. Depending on your user account role rights, you can add and edit individual views or remove them from a dashboard page. In some cases, you can export the data to a file in CSV format.
View placement on dashboard pages is flexible. Users with the required role rights can customize dashboards. They can, for example, place views of application performance data next to views of volume data to help troubleshoot issues from a single page.
The predefined dashboards are organized into workflows. Hyperlinks let you drill down from Top N views to more detailed metrics from a narrow context, such as an individual device. Built-in workflows direct you to data that is related to the metric you are reviewing. For example, you can see a view of discards when you drill down from a view of interface utilization.
Create custom groups to display data for a specific set of sites, devices, or interfaces. You can apply these groups to dashboards using the group selector (the 'change' link at the top left). You can change the “context” of the dashboard to analyze data for specific groupings. You can also select a managed item or a group of items and rapidly generate an on-demand report for a selected metric family and time frame.
Views that show data for a group contain rollups of data from data sources. Views of data for a single managed item often provide a drilldown path directly to the data source. The Single Sign-On feature lets you navigate from a dashboard to a data source interface if your user account has the 'Drill into Data Sources' role right.
