The Dashboard
The Dashboard displays the system health status icon and the system hostname in the upper-left corner. Mouse over the health status icon to view the system health state: Healthy, Admission Control, Degraded, or Critical.
The page displays:
• Local system information, including Controller up-time, endpoint health status, and desktop licenses.
• Cluster-wide connection information - In Mobile Controller 5.5 and later, the Dashboard page displays cluster information, if a cluster is configured. The Cluster-wide connection information lists the number of controllers in the cluster, installed and free licenses, connections and licensed connections, and the status of the clients in the cluster (healthy, degraded, critical, and disabled).
• Cluster aggregated statistics (below the reports) - If you have set aggregated statistics in the Cluster page, the Dashboard displays aggregated statistics across cluster members for the selected report. For details on setting aggregated statistics in clusters, see
Configuring Mobile Controller clusters. If the Mobile Controlleris part of a cluster and you have not set aggregated statistics, the report only shows data from the current Mobile Controller.
The Dashboard also displays these reports:
• Bandwidth Optimization - Summarizes the throughput or total data transmitted by all clients over the WAN and the LAN in the last week. In Mobile Controller 5.5 and later, this graph also shows the number of desktop licenses installed and in use.
• Endpoint History - Displays the endpoints that are connected to the controller and the licensed endpoints. By default, endpoint data for the past week is shown. In Mobile Controller 5.5 and later, this graph also shows the history of desktop endpoints.
In Mobile Controller 5.5 and later, there are panes for the Bandwidth Optimization and Endpoint History reports at the bottom of the Home page. Click a pane to display the report you want to see.
