Resources Shows an overview current memory swap and disk usage.
CPU Load Shows a graph of recent CPU load.
Network Information Shows an overview of the network information like session count and device/host count.
Network Layout Shows an overview of the network layout based on the interface configuration.
Map Distribution Shows the current sessions mapped geolocation on a world map, sized by throughput.
Report Shows any Report Entry from Reports

To add/remove/configure widgets click on Manage Widgets at the top. From here you can add/remove widgets. When adding a widget you first need to select the type of widget you wish to add. Beware, some widget types can only be added to the dashboard once.

Adding a widget

After choosing the widget type, you may see more settings related to that specific widget type. For example, for a Report widget you will need to choose a Refresh Interval and a Timeframe and obviously which Report Entry the widget should show. You can display any report entry including custom-created report entries. To see more about creating report entries look at the Reports documentation.

If you see an alert icon near the top of the dashboard, hover over it for more information - these are Administrative Alerts designed to help you keep your Untangle healthy.
