Working with dashboards

Dashboards use data from reports. Before you add a chart to a dashboard, a report must include the chart data. To create a report, see Explore data and create reports.

View dashboards

Perform the following steps to open a dashboard. You can access only dashboards that are in content sets for which you have Reporting Dashboard read permission.

  1. From the Main menu, go to Data > Dashboards.

    The Dashboards page lists all the dashboards that you have permissions to access.

  2. (Optional) Use the following search and filter options to facilitate finding specific dashboards if the grid is long. The grid shows only the dashboards that match all the filters and search text that you specify.

    Dashboard search and filter options
    Option Description
    Filter by labels

    Select Labels to show only the dashboards to which those labels are assigned.

    You can also use the Labels panel to add, edit, or delete labels. See Managing labels.

    Filter by favorites

    Use the Show buttons to toggle between showing All dashboards or only dashboards that are in your favorites list .

    Click beside a dashboard name to add the dashboard to your favorites list or click to remove the dashboard from your favorites list.
    Filter by content set Select a content set to show only the dashboards that are assigned to that set.
    Filter by author Select a user name to show only the dashboards that the user created or select one of the Tanium Managed options to show only the predefined dashboards that Tanium provides (see Tanium-managed dashboards).

    Filter by creation date

    Date range

    		Specify a range of dashboard creation dates by clicking the Created on and to calendar widgets Date range.
    Search by text Enter an alphanumeric string to filter by dashboard name or description.

  3. (Optional) Select a View as option to determine how the page displays the dashboards:

    Dashboard views
    View option Description

    List view (default)

    		 List the dashboards only by text attributes, such as name, author, and content set assignment.

    Grid view

    Display the dashboards as a grid, with a row for each dashboard. Each row shows small previews of the dashboard charts.

    In grid view, the charts render faster if you use the search and filter controls to reduce the number of dashboards before clicking .

    Click in a chart to add that chart to your favorites list or click to remove the chart from your favorites list.

    Click Next Next to see charts that do not fit in your browser view.

    By default, the grid is sorted Sort by Dashboard Name but you can select another attribute (such as Content Set assignment) in the dropdown.

    You can change the computer group filter for:

    • All dashboards: Select a group in the Computer Group dropdown.
    • A specific dashboard chart: In the chart, click Computer Group Computer group filter and select a group.
    Only computer management groups appear as filter options for dashboards. For information about the types of computer groups, see Tanium Console User Guide: Managing computer groups.

    The computer group that you select applies only to the current instance of the Dashboards page. To change computer group filters permanently, edit the dashboard. See Edit dashboards.
  4. Click a Dashboard Name to open the dashboard. You can then perform the following dashboard management tasks:
    Dashboard management tasks

    View or edit basic dashboard settings

    To show the dashboard description, content set assignment, and label assignments, click beside the dashboard name. To edit these settings or the dashboard name, click Edit beside the name, update the settings, and click Save. For details, see Dashboard settings.

    For Tanium Managed dashboards, you can edit only the content set and label assignments.

    Set favorite status

    		Click beside a dashboard name to add the dashboard to your favorites list or click to remove the dashboard from your favorites list.
    Filter chart dataSelect the Computer Group and Timeframe filters to apply to all charts. Your selections override the default value for each chart. To override the computer group for a specific chart, click Computer Group Computer group filter within the chart and select a group. Note that some charts might not contain data for all time frames and computer groups. The computer group filter for a dashboard and its individual charts works the same way, and with the same limitations, as on the Data > Dashboards page (see Grid view).
    Export as HTMLTo export the dashboard as an HTML file, select Export > Dashboard as HTML. See Export dashboards.

    Refresh data

    		By default, a dashboard updates every two minutes when the browser tab is open. In the dashboard header, click Refresh to manually refresh all charts on the dashboard. To change the automatic refresh interval, click and either select an interval or select Pause auto refresh to stop automatic refreshes.
    Edit dashboard contents and filtersClick Edit and perform the steps under Edit dashboards to change which sections, charts, and data the dashboard includes.
    Clone dashboardClick Clone and perform the steps under Clone dashboards.
    Open associated reports

    If you set the View as option to Grid View , you can click the name of a chart panel to open the report that provides the chart data. The report opens in a new browser tab.

    Clicking a data point in the chart opens the report with that data point applied as a filter.

    When you click a data point from a past date/time in a historical chart, the report that opens shows the current data, not the past data.

    Deploy actions

    (Action panels only) If an action panel indicates an issue on endpoints that requires attention and provides a Deploy Action option, you can address the issue by deploying an action to the endpoints. If only one action is available, the panel provides a Deploy Action button. If multiple actions are available, the panel provides a Deploy Action dropdown. Clicking the button or selecting a dropdown option opens the Action Deployment page, where you can configure and schedule the action. See Tanium Console User Guide: Deploying actions.

    Action panels are a feature of emerging issue dashboards that Tanium manages (see Emerging issue dashboards) but custom dashboards can also have action panels (see Add action panels).

    Delete dashboardClick Delete and perform the steps under Delete dashboards.

    To move the section, select Reorder Sections, and then click and drag sections into the desired order.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the dashboard to find the new section.
  4. (Optional) Enter a name of up to 255 characters for the section.
  5. Add one or more panels to the section:
  6. Click Save when you finish editing the dashboard.

Add chart panels

A chart panel contains a chart that helps users to visualize metrics from a report. The report that you want to use for the panel must exist before you add the panel to a dashboard. For more information, see Working with reports.

For example chart panels, see Reference: Chart options in Reporting.

  1. Perform one of the following steps to add a panel to an existing or new dashboard:

    • Existing dashboard: From the Main menu, go to Data > Dashboards, click the Dashboard Name, and click Edit.

    • New dashboard: Clone an existing dashboard or create one from scratch. The new dashboard automatically opens in edit mode. For details, see Create dashboards.

  2. Perform one of the following steps depending on the dashboard section where you want to add the panel:

    • Bottom section: At the top of the dashboard, select Add > Add Chart Panel.
    • Any other section: In the section where you want the panel, select Add Panel > Add Chart Panel.
  3. Use the Add Panel dialog to specify the following settings:
    1. Configure the basic panel settings:
      2. Panel settings: basic
      SettingDescription
      Select ReportSelect the report from which to retrieve information. This field lists only the reports that are in content sets for which you have Report read permission.
      Group By Column(Optional) Select one or more report columns by which to group data on the chart. This field populates from the columns in the report. If you do not select an option, results are shown as a single aggregate.
      Aggregate

      Aggregation summarizes the data in each group. This field appears for number charts and charts with numeric columns. You can select:

      • Count: Display the number of items in the group.
      • Percentage (Number charts only): Display the data as a percentage of the selected group divided by the total of all groups in the source column. For example, consider a column that contains 100 rows: 75 rows contain True, 20 rows contain False, and 5 rows contain N/A. If you choose to aggregate by percentage and then select False for the Group, the percentage that appears is 20% (( 20 / (75+20+5)) * 100).
      • <column name> [Average | Max | Min | Sum]: If the report contains numeric columns, you can aggregate the data in each group based on a numeric column. The following options are available for each numeric column:
        • Average: Display the total value of all items in the group (the Sum) divided by the number of items in the group.
        • Max: Display the maximum item value in the group.
        • Min: Display the minimum item value in the group.
        • Sum: Display the total value of all items in the group.
      If a chart does not contain the Aggregate field, the results are automatically aggregated by Count.
    2. (Optional) Add Advanced Filters. You can filter by a filter group and by a source condition. If you add both filters, data must match both filters to appear in the chart.
      Panel settings: filters
      SettingDescription
      Filter Group

      If you select a filter group, the chart shows results only from that group. Reporting refreshes the chart preview based on your selection. If the list of filter groups is long, use the typeahead within the Filter Group dropdown to quickly find filter groups.

      The Filter Group dropdown contains only the groups that are assigned to a content set for which your account has Filter Group read permission. For details about filter groups, see Tanium Console User Guide: Managing filter groups. For details about configuring and assigning role permissions, see Tanium Console User Guide: Managing roles.

      SourceSelect a source condition that report data must match. A source condition contains a source, operator, and a value. For example, if you want to show data from Linux endpoints, select Operating System for the source, contains for the operator, and linux for the value.

    3. Select a chart type:

      Vertical bar chart vertical bar

      Donut chart donut

      Number chart number

      Line chart line

      Area chart area

      Table chart table

      After you select a type, the Preview pane shows the chart at different sizes. You can resize the chart after you add the chart to the dashboard. For information about chart types, see Reference: Chart options in Reporting.

    4. Customize the advanced panel settings. The available settings depend on the selected report and chart type.
      5. Panel settings: advanced
      SettingDescription
      NameEnter a name of up to 255 characters to appear at the top of the panel.
      DescriptionEnter a description to appear under the panel name.
      Group(Number charts only) Select the group value to display for the chart.
      DateSelect a date range for historical charts, such area or line charts, or a single date for one-day charts. For options, see Reference: Chart options in Reporting.

      Reporting starts collecting data for charts when you save the dashboard. This means that historical charts show a Collecting initial data message until the data exists. The chart preview shows any available data so you can see how the chart appears. Reporting collects data for the selected Aggregate combined with the Group By Column value. If a chart does not contain the Aggregate field, the results are automatically aggregated by Count. You can change the Date value in the future without losing data, but if you update the Aggregate or the Group By Column value, the chart restarts the collection process. For more information, see Reference: Chart options in Reporting.

      Subtitle(Number charts only) Enter text to display under the value in the number chart.
      Timeframe Label(Number and donut charts only) Enter text to display under the chart.
      Default Group

      Select the default computer group for which to show data in the panel. The options include only computer groups that are configured for Reporting and that you have RBAC permission to access. To show data from all endpoints, select All Computers.

      Use the Filter Group option in the Advanced Filters instead of this field. The Default Group field can unintentionally reduce visibility for users because it limits the results to one computer group. To provide more flexibility to end users, set this field to All Computers and use the Filter Group option in the Advanced Filters to narrow the results instead.

      Only computer management groups appear as options. For information about the types of computer groups and how to assign them for RBAC, see Tanium Console User Guide: Managing computer groups.

      Max ResultsThe maximum number of items to display in the chart.
      Scale

      For vertical bar charts, area charts, and line charts, select how to scale values on the y-axis. Options include:

      • Linear: Use consistent values on the y-axis. For example, if the minimum data point on a chart is 1, and the maximum data point is 100, the y-axis values would be 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100.
      • Logarithmic: Scale the y-axis on an exponential basis. Use this option for charts that contain a large range of data points.
      Value Format

      Select a format for the chart values if the Aggregate is set to a percentage or numeric column value:

      • Percent: Adds % as a suffix to the values
      • None: No suffix is added

      The format selection controls only the value unit that appears in the chart and does not change the actual value.

      The format option is not available for table charts or charts in which the Aggregate is set to Count.

      SortSelect an item name or value (result) by which to sort items in the chart. Click for ascending order (low to high) or for descending order (high to low).
      X-Axis LabelEnter a label to display horizontally under the chart. This option only displays for chart types that use axis labels.
      Y-Axis LabelEnter a label to display vertically to the left of the chart. This option only displays for chart types that use axis labels.
      Trend Indicator(Number charts only) Select to hide or show a trend indicator on the chart. When you select Show, select the direction of the indicator, and the value to compare with the current value. If the value that you want to compare against does not exist, the trend indicator does not appear on the panel.
      Legend Display OptionsUse this section to customize the items that appear in the chart.
      • Exclude items: Clear the check box for an item to exclude that item from the chart.
      • Customize colors: Click the colored disk beside an item to change the color that the chart uses for the item. Multiple items can use the same color.
      Conditional Formatting

      Expand Conditional Formatting and click + Add to add a label to the chart when a threshold condition is met. In addition, you can apply the conditional color to the chart background, which then overrides the default background color.

      • When you add conditional formatting, viewers can easily identify panels that need attention.
      • You can add multiple conditions to a chart. Conditions are evaluated in descending order; the first condition that triggers a match is applied to the chart.
      • If you specify items to exclude in the Legend Display Options field, the excluded items are still evaluated and can trigger conditional formatting.

      For number charts, if the previous period of data is 0, the Trend Indicator shows 100% if the current data is positive, and -100% if the current data is negative. Both of these conditions trigger conditional formatting.

  4. Verify that the chart and text appear as you expect in the Preview pane, and then click Done.

    Click Show Underlying Report Data to view the report data for the chart in the same pane.

    The Preview pane contains an option to change the computer group, which enables you to preview data from different computer groups. Changing the computer group affects only the data in the Preview pane, and the change is not saved when you save the panel.

  5. Click Save when you finish editing the dashboard.

Add action panels

An action panel contains a message that alerts users to issues that require attention. Optionally, you can configure the panel to identify the number of affected endpoints and to provide corrective actions that users can deploy to those endpoints. In the following example, the action panel indicates how many endpoints have the PrintNightmare vulnerability and provides options for mitigating the vulnerability and for rolling back the mitigation action.

Action panel

Before you add action options to a panel, the packages that the actions deploy must exist. If no Tanium-defined packages exist for the issues that the panel addresses, see Tanium Console User Guide: Create a package.

You can see examples of action panels in Tanium-managed emerging issue dashboards. See Emerging issue dashboards.

An action panel is similar to a Tanium Feed notification. See Tanium Feed User Guide: Notifications.
