Dashboards help you to monitor system activity in your environment. Select a dashboard from the drop-down menu, or take actions on your dashboards from the Dashboard Manager.
Dashboards offer graphical overviews of your tenant's activities, enabling you to effectively monitor incidents and overall activity in your environment. Each dashboard comprises widgets that summarize information about your endpoint in graphical or tabular format.
