<![CDATA["Dashboard" Tab for Node]]>I see where dashboards can be created globally, but I'm not seeing similar functionality for a Node.   The "Overview" sort of serves this function, but as best I can tell, the Overview tab is not editable, and doesn't display graphs, and you can't rearrange anything that is on it in a way that would best display information (to us). 

I've tried to put data that I've polled via SNMP into the Performance tab, but I think the Performance tab only shows graphs?? (I was able to display txt/string values in a Dashboard via a gauge). 

I guess I was thinking that I could build dashboards within a template (or reference a dashboard that I had created as a template) and then have that dashboard available for each Node. 

Or, is there a way to automatically generate Dashboards for every Node, and then filter and group Dashboards?

Sorry I'm very new at this so my thoughts may not be clear or correct on any of this, and sadly, my scripting/programming skills are pretty limited unless I see examples or something similar (or two similar examples I can mash together).

Thanks!

Actually, it's not strictly necessary, without it you can still open the dashboard from "Dashboard" menu on a node (we will rename this checkbox somehow to demonstrate that it just opens dashboard in a tab by default).

I just need to figure out how to use it all!  hahaha 🙂

In the Dashboard's Properties > Object Context:  Check the box for "Show this Dashboard in Object Context" and set the Display Priority to 1

Excellent! 

I'm still trying to find the "direct" access of the dashboard like in the old client (right click on node, go to "Dashboards" and then select the dashboard... However, now that I can add it as a tab (and make it the default), this isn't nearly as much of a problem.  🙂

The problem I'm having... I see no way on the node to open the dashboard.  Doesn't seem to be a "tab" for it at the top.  Can't seem to find it in any of the menus, etc.  
For information though, I'm attempting (as much as possible) to use the "new" Client interface... so I realized that this may not be available yet here?    (although, step 1 is

I did find it in the older client, although it seems to be rather "hard" to get to.   I'd love to see a way to add this as a tab (or, better yet, add it as a tab and have that tab be the default rather than overview?)

I'm going to keep playing around... I'm loving this!  🙂

It could be that it could be improved to be simpler to use, comments are welcome.

If you open data sources of dashboard element, there is button "Add template". There you can specify how to choose what DCI to display - by metric name or description.

The second step is to apply dashboard to a node. This could be done either by auto-apply script in dashboard properties, or manually in properties of a node.
