PingDirectory

Available dashboards

The PingDataMetrics server includes several dashboards that can be used to display information for all servers in a data center, specific applications, or service level agreement (SLA) specifics.

The following dashboards are available:

ldap-dashboard

Displays charts for PingDirectory server, PingDirectoryProxy server, and PingDataSync servers configured with the monitored-servers command. Charts are also displayed for the PingDataMetrics server. This dashboard is viewed from a browser at http://<metrics-host>:<port>/view/ldap-dashboard, and is easily customized. For more information, see Customize the LDAP dashboard. The charts can display information by:

  • Individual server, server location, or server type.

  • Varying level of detail adjusted by server type.

  • Time scale, providing either a recent or more historical data view.

demo-dashboard

A dashboard .readme file provides general instructions for customizing any dashboard, and is located in <server-root>/config/dashboard/dashboard.README.

You can create and reference custom style sheets in the dashboard template or configure styles for all charts. See Chart Presentation Details for information. The PingDataMetrics server default style sheets should not be modified.
