  1. Summary Chart
  2. Top-N Chart
  3. Result Detail Chart 
  4. Geo-Map Chart

Summary Chart

The summary chart appears at the top of the observability dashboard. It summarizes the key metrics for the entire observability dashboard.

Name Meaning Note
Number of Intents The total number of intents in the observability dashboard, adding together the intents in all Result Detail Charts
  1. The repeated intents will be excluded from the total number. For instance, intent Operational Status Check is defined as the data source in both the All Routing Devices Dashboard and BGP Devices Dashboard, and it will be considered as 1 intent, not 2.
  2. Intents with no execution data will still be included in the total number.
Number of Devices The total number of intent devices on the observability dashboard, adding together the intent devices in all Result Detail Charts

The repeated Intent devices will be excluded from the total number.

Information Note: If a device is deleted from the intent, it will not be counted toward Number of Devices, but it might still show in a result detail chart.
Number of Alerts The numerical sum of alert status code counts on the observability dashboard, adding up the intent alert status code count and device alert status code count The same alert will be counted twice if it appears in different rows of this observability dashboard.
Number of Successes The numerical sum of success status code counts on the observability dashboard,  adding up the intent success status code count and device success status code count The same success will be counted twice if it appears in different rows of this observability dashboard.       

All numbers will be recalculated when the observability dashboard is refreshed/reopened.

Top-N Chart

Top-N Chart helps users to instantly spot devices that require attention even when the observability dashboard has plenty of result detail charts.  The Top-N Chart lists a certain number (defined by users) of devices with the most alerts in descending order.
