Introduction

Opmantek's opCharts module is an industry leading custom dashboard tool designed specifically to enable users to generate targeted, custom single-pane of glass views into the network's performance - both current and over time. Drawing data from NMIS as well as 3rd part SQL databases, opCharts puts the power into the user's hands to build dynamic interfaces by combining Components into single or multilayer visual landscapes called Dashboards.

By abstracting data into Key Performance Metrics, and combining and sorting devices into dynamic groups through user defined metadata, opCharts can easily support high-level abstracted user views at the 50,000 ft level while still allowing quick drill-down into detailed performance metrics for fast problem resolution.

Executive or technician - opCharts gives each user the power to easily organize and view their network's performance the way they want to see it.

Overview

opCharts supports three primary views - Nodes, Dashboards, and TopN.

Nodes View

The Nodes View can be opened by selecting View -> Nodes from the opCharts menu bar. The Nodes View abstracts each nodes performance information into easy to understand panels. These panels include such information as the node name, node status, vendor, and key performance information regarding each node.

The Nodes view is the default view for opCharts unless a default Dashboard has been assigned to the user account.

Dashboard View

The Dashboard Menu, listing all available Dashboards, can be opened by selecting View -> Dashboard from the opCharts menu bar. From there, the user can select to create a New Dashboard, and View/Edit/Delete an existing Dashboard.

TopN View

The TopN View can be opened by selecting Views -> TopN from the opCharts menu bar. The TopN view is actually a collection, or predefined dashboard, comprised of six opCharts Components. Any of these TopN charts can each be added to a new or existing Dashboard (see: Dashboards for more information) to create custom views.
