Abstract

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.

Types of dashboards

Cortex XSIAM provides the following types of dashboards:

  • Command Center dashboards

    Command Center dashboards provide instant visibility into your security operations, with drilldowns to additional dashboards and associated pages. For more information, see Command Center dashboards.

  • Predefined dashboards

    Predefined dashboards are configured for different system set-ups and use cases, and to assist SOC analysts in their investigations. You can create reports and custom dashboards that are based on predefined dashboards. For more information, see Predefined dashboards.

  • Custom dashboards

    Custom dashboards provide the flexibility to design dashboards that are built to your own specifications. You can base custom dashboards on the predefined dashboards or create a new dashboard from scratch, and save your custom dashboards as reports. For more information, see Custom dashboards.

Manage your dashboards

You can see all of your predefined and custom dashboards in the Dashboard Manager, and take the following actions:

  • Create, edit, and delete custom dashboards

    Note

    You cannot edit the predefined dashboards but you can create a new dashboard that is based on a dashboard template.

  • Select your default dashboard

  • Create a report template based on a dashboard

  • Import and export dashboards

    You can import and export dashboards in a JSON format, which enables you to transfer your configurations between environments for onboarding, migration, backup, and sharing. You can also bulk export and import multiple dashboards at a time.

    Note

    • Dashboards that are based on custom infrastructure cannot be exported.

    • If you import a dashboard template that already exists in the system, the imported template will overwrite the existing template. If you do not want to overwrite the existing template, duplicate and rename the existing template before importing the new template.
