Dashboard screen details

IMPORTANT: The Dashboard is blank the first time you log in to the appliance because you have not yet configured any resources.

If this is the first time you are logging in to the appliance, see Initial configuration of resources in HPE OneView to define your data center environment and bring your infrastructure under appliance management.

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.

To move a dashboard panel, see Move a dashboard panel. To delete a panel, see Delete a dashboard panel.


	NOTE: How to interpret the Dashboard charts explains how to read the charts.

The Dashboard displays the following chart types:

Chart type	Description
Status	A Status chart summarizes health status. The number displayed next to the resource name indicates the total number of resource instances known to the appliance. To learn more, click the resource name to display the resource's main screen and view detailed health and status information. On a Status chart, a dark-gray chart slice indicates the number of resources that are not reporting information because they are either disabled or are not being managed by the appliance. To filter the view of a resource based on its status, click the status icon. To learn more about health status and severity icons, see Icon descriptions.
Servers with profiles	The Servers with profiles chart reports the count of server hardware instances with server profiles assigned to them. If the chart is not solid blue, hover your pointer over the light-gray chart slice to see the count of servers without server profile assignments. To create a server profile and assign it to server hardware, see Create and apply a server profile.
Blade bays	The Blade bays chart reports the count of server hardware instances in all managed enclosure bays. If the chart is not solid blue, hover your pointer over the light-gray chart slice to see the count of empty enclosure bays.
