Administration Dashboard
The Administration Dashboard is a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides access to the administrative functions and displays current attributes of the n-Command MSP server. The Administration Dashboard is accessible by entering the server's IPv4 address (or host name) into your browser's address field, followed by the path /msp.
The dashboard provides real time status for resources on the server, such as Memory Usage, Disk Usage, and Server Load. Depending on the server hardware, additional resource modules may also display, such as RAID Status, Fan Status, and System Information. If your system does not display all the modules explained in this topic, it is because your hardware does not supply that particular information or the server is running on a virtual machine. The following is a brief explanation of the module types and the information each module displays about the server hardware status:
Memory Usage - Displays the amount of used and available (free) memory.
Disk Usage - Displays the percentage of hard disk space that is in use and available (free).
Server Load - Displays a statistical graph displaying the percentage of available RAM, CPU wait time, and load average. The displayed statistics depend upon the options selected. Select one or more of the options from the Statistics option at the bottom of the module. The Data Range can be set to display by hour, day, week, month, or year.
RAID Status - Displays the status of each disk in the RAID array. If there is more than one disk array, then the icons are numbered. The color green indicates the device is functioning properly and red indicates a device failure, requiring immediate attention.
Fan Status - Displays the current status of each fan in the server. The current fan speed is displayed next to the fan name and status in the grid. The color green indicates the fan is functioning properly, yellow indicates a warning condition, and red indicates the fan has failed, requiring immediate attention.
System Info - Displays the current temperature and power supply status. The color green indicates the device is functioning properly and red indicates a failure, requiring immediate attention.
The resource modules can be manipulated in the following ways:
To move any of the modules, select the title bar of the module, then drag and drop it to a new location. The other modules will automatically move and realign to accommodate the relocated module.
To close any of the modules, select the X in the upper right corner of the module.
To add modules to the dashboard, select the Manage Panels menu option from the bottom right corner of the dashboard. Select the module to display. Your changes are applied immediately to the dashboard.
The following functions can be performed from the Administration Dashboard:
