Generic Widgets

The following generic widgets are built-in widgets and can be used directly in a dashboard.

• Configlet by Config Parser
• Configlet by Design Filter
• Device Details
• Map Widget
• Single Device Data Table
• Multi-Device Data Table
• Device Metric Chart
• Interface Metric Chart
• Event Chart
• Event Table

Configlet by Config Parser

Configlet by Config Parser widget is designed to display the device configlet parsed by a predefined parser based on its device type. For example, EIGRP configurations on a device and all related interfaces.

• Select a parser from the Parser Library. By default, the full configuration file in the Current Baseline is displayed in the Widget.
• Select a parser variable from the Configlet list to parse the configuration file.

Configlet by Design Filter

Configlet by Design Filter widget is designed to display the device configlet filtered by a predefined Design Filter. For example, display spanning tree configurations on a device and all related interfaces.

• Select a data source. You can retrieve real-time device configlet from your live network or use historical data. By default, the full configuration file in the current baseline is displayed for the selected device.
• Select a design filter from the drop-down list to filter the configuration file.

Device Details

Device Details widget is designed to display device, interface, and module properties for a single device.

The displayed properties can be customized, including the built-in and system properties predefined in the Global Data Repository (GDR). To show the properties customized in GDR, select Options > Show customized properties.

On a map widget, click Load Map to select a map file and make selections between the two options:

• Automatically create a map based on the selected devices in this Dashboard — instantly map all devices in the device scope based on layer 3 topology.
• Select an existing map page — click Browse to select an existing map file. If it contains multiple map pages, you can select a specific one.
  

  Note: You cannot perform any operations in a map widget except zoom controls. Click the  icon and select Open Map in a New tab for more operations.

The map widget can be bound to Qapp files. Data views will be generated and applied to the map automatically after Qapp execution.
Example:

The single Device View widget is designed to display device or interface metrics for a single device in one table.

Tip: The rows and column headers will switch if each metric is a single-value variable.

Example:

The device List View widget is designed to display device or interface metrics for multiple devices in one table. With this Widget, you can compare the metrics between different devices.

1. Click Options to open the widget configurations.
2. Customize the Widget based on your needs.
   1. Click Browse to select a Qapp file from Qapp Center. The default table and metrics used to order by the table are populated automatically.
   2. Select the metrics to be displayed in the table.
   3. Click OK.

Device Metric Chart

Device-level Metrics widget is designed to display the trend of single-value device metrics in a line chart for a single device, for example, the utilization trend of CPU and memory of a core device.

Tip: The Widget can only display single-value metrics for one device. Besides, the values of these metrics must be numbers.

The Instance-level Metrics widget is designed to display the trend of interface metrics or multiple-value device metrics in a line chart for a single device, for example, the input or output traffic utilization trend of an interface.

Tip: The Widget displays multiple-value metrics for one device or a single-value metric of an interface. The values of the metrics must be of a numerical type.

The event Chart widget is designed to display the count of events generated during Qapp execution for multiple devices in a column chart. The data source of the event chart is the Qapp-related events synchronized from the Event Console.

Tip: You need to bind a Qapp file to this Widget. As a result, only the events generated by this Qapp are counted.

The event Table widget is designed to display the details of events generated during Qapp execution for multiple devices in one table. The data source of the event table is the Qapp-related events synchronized from the Event Console.

Tip: You need to bind a Qapp file to this Widget. As a result, only the events generated by this Qapp are displayed.
