Event Analytics Audit dashboard

The Event Analytics Audit dashboard is designed to provide high-level insight into the notable events coming into your ITSI deployment. This dashboard shows a count of events over the time range you select, along with alert trends, acknowledgements and resolution statistics, and real-time event information and updates.

In release 4.19.0, this dashboard was converted from SXML to UDF. SXML versions of this dashboard are no longer being updated.

Quirks of the Event Analytics Audit dashboard

• You cannot embed custom Javascript into the dashboard.
• The trendValue in the Episodes panel only displays an arrow when the trend value is not 0.
• Table content does not wrap within cells.
• Table height and width adjusts to data automatically unless Absolute Layout is in effect.
• While font color in XML versions of the dashboard automatically adjusts to contrast with background (such as by using white text to contrast with a green background), font color is a single uniform shade for UDF versions of the dashboard.
