If you’re a regular reader of these updates, you’ll recall that we introduced Guided Mode Dashboards back in our November Product update. We’ve recently added the ability to filter a panel on this type of dashboard using our BGP Ultimate Exit dimensions for Site and Device.

---

To use this new feature, you’ll need a Guided Mode dashboard on which Dimension family to filter by (in the Guided Mode settings) is set to either Site or Devices. If you already have one, go to the Dashboards page, click the options menu at the upper right of the dashboard’s tile, and choose edit to open the Edit Dashboard dialog. Otherwise, make a new dashboard by clicking the Add Dashboard button, then in the resulting Edit Dashboard dialog, choose Device or Site from the Dimension family to filter by selector. For this example, we’ll use Site.

Once you have a dashboard whose Guided Mode dimension is Site, you can create a panel on the dashboard and filter it with a BGP Ultimate Exit dimension. (For information on creating a panel, see the Adding Dashboard Panels topic in our KB.) Open the panel’s Edit Panel dialog (Editing Dashboard Panels) and go to the Guided Mode tab (lower section of dialog). For behavior, choose Add filter group. From the Add a new filter group with dimension selector, choose Destination BGP Ultimate Exit Site. Once you’ve set a filter for the panel using an Ultimate Exit dimension, the panel will show only traffic from the Destination BGP Ultimate Exit Site chosen with the Guided Mode selector at the top of the dashboard.

While this example made use of Sites, a very similar workflow is available for Devices.
