Dashboards

The Dashboard Client component of WebSphere® Business Monitor Version 6.0 enables users to monitor business performance through a set of views.

The Dashboard Client operates within the IBM® WebSphere Portal Version 5.1 environment. Each of the dashboard views is implemented as a portlet. A dashboard is created by assembling portlets in a portal page. To construct the WebSphere Business Monitor Dashboard Client, you create a portal page and add a set of views portlets to it.

Users can display the monitoring data through a set of dashboard views defined according to display properties and content. These views provide different representations of both runtime and historical data. DB2® Alphablox is used with the views for a more refined data analysis.

A dashboard view is a type of display supported by one or more dashboard categories. The display is targeted to address specific functions or responsibilities of a particular role. Each view type supports a number of display properties to customize the display. The dashboard view types are:
