In December 2017, we announced our new Alerting Scoreboard, which makes it easier to see at a glance the things that most need your attention. Now we’ve added the ability to include one or more scoreboards as panels on a dashboard. This type of panel is especially useful for Dashboards designed to get insight into attacks or changes in the network environment.

To add a scoreboard from an existing Dashboard, first, click Edit Mode, then click the Alert Policy Scoreboard button in the panel at the top (under “Select visualization type…”). In the resulting Add Dashboard Panel dialog, you’ll see the controls for configuring the scoreboard grid: Dimension (X axis), Policy (Y axis), etc. Make your grid settings, set your thresholds for inclusion of various levels of alarms, and give the panel a title before saving with the Add Dashboard Panel button.
