Hover your pointer over a chart slice to view the count of resource instances being represented by that slice. If you hover over a different slice in the same chart, the text and count displayed in the center of the chart changes. Click on a slice to be taken to the resource page filtered by the status or value associated with the slice.
If you view the Dashboard on a narrow screen, the charts are arranged vertically for resources with multiple charts, and you can use the scroll bar to navigate to each chart.
Chart type | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | The number displayed next to the resource name indicates the total number of resource instances known to the appliance. Click the resource name to display the resource's main screen and view detailed health and status information. On a Status chart, you can also see the number of resources that are not reporting information because they are either disabled or are not being managed by the appliance. |
| Servers with profiles | If the chart is not a solid color, hover your pointer over the chart to see the count of servers without server profile assignments. |
| Blade bays | The Blade bays chart reports the count of server hardware instances in all managed enclosureenclosure bays. If the chart is not a solid color, hover your pointer over the chart to see the count of empty enclosure bays. |
| Servers in maintenance mode | The number displayed denotes the total number of servers currently in maintenance mode. The purple bar denotes the servers that are not in maintenance mode. |
