About the FTD Dashboard

The FTD dashboard provides you an at-a-glance view of the status, including events data collected and generated by all Security Cloud Control-managed threat defense devices.

You can use this dashboard to view collective information that is related to the device status and the overall health of the devices in your deployment. The information that the FTD dashboard provides depends on how you license, configure, and deploy the devices in your system. Although, the FTD dashboard displays data for all Security Cloud Control-managed threat defense devices, you can choose to filter device-based data. You can also choose the time range to display for specific time range.

This dashboard uses tabs to display predefined widgets: small, self-contained components that provide insights into different aspects of the system. For example, the Network Activity widget shows you event graphs that display information about all connection, malware, and intrusion events. The widgets in the dashboard are predefined and cannot be customized. This dashboard is visible to all Security Cloud Control users who have access to a Security Cloud Control tenant.

  • The dashboard does not displays any event statistics for historic events.

  • Since the aggregation service batch processes the events to aggregate every five minutes, you can expect a five-minute latency between the time the events are aggregated to the time the statistics are displayed.
