# 1 Dashboard

#### Overview

The *Monitoring → Dashboard* section, similar to the dashboard on your
car, displays a summary of all the important information.

**Favourites**

There are some widgets for favourites where you can create quick
shortcuts to the most needed graphs, custom graphs, screens, slide shows
and maps.

Just click on the Menu button in the widget, select to add, for example,
some screen and then select from the configured screens. The selected
screens will be displayed as shortcuts in the favourites widget.

**Status widgets**

A number of status widgets - *Status of Zabbix, System status, Host
status, Last 20 issues, Web monitoring, Discovery status* each display a
summary of the respective data.

As you may have noticed from the screenshot, the widgets can be arranged
in up to three columns. Additionally, all widgets can be freely moved
around. Just grab a widget by its title bar, drag and drop wherever you
would like it.

#### Dashboard filter

Clicking on

By enabling the filter you can limit what hosts and triggers are
displayed in the dashboard and define how the problem count is
displayed.

For example, hosts 001, 002, 003 may be in Group A and hosts 002, 003 in Group B as well. If we select to *show* Group A and *hide* Group B at the same time, only data from host 001 will be displayed in the Dashboard.|

If dashboard filtering is applied, it is indicated by a green indicator
with the filter icon:

menu. It includes links to custom scripts, latest data, triggers,
inventory, graphs and screens for the host.
