Customizing dashboard layout

Add frequently used features to the dashboard.

In practice

• The disk shown under Server Storage usually also holds the web server's logs. On busy servers the access logs alone grew by about 100 MB a day and, with no retention set, reached many gigabytes. Set a retention period (maxDays on the access-log valve in Tomcat's server.xml); we keep 30 days.
• An External Server failure is not always a dead service. The check calls the remote-management (RM) address the server is configured with, so if that address is only reachable from outside your network, the check can time out now and then while displays are fine. Point it at an address the server itself can reach.

Adding widgets on the dashboard

1. Click to check the checkboxes of the widgets to add.
2. Widgets are added or deleted in the dashboard, depending on whether the checkboxes are checked or not.
3. After configuring settings as required, click any blank area. Widgets that can be added to the dashboard are as follows.

• Server Storage View a summary of information on the disk space that contains MagicINFO Server data. Click the left or right arrow to view the connected disk information.
• External Server Check the status of interaction between MagicINFO Server and the connected external server. If you click a widget, the External Server Management menu appears.
• Software Update Summary View the software update status. When a widget is clicked, the Applied Status menu appears.
• User Summary View the number of registered or canceled users and the number of new users that requested to sign up. Click All Users or New User Request to move to the menu.
