Dashboard Overview

The Junos Space Security Director dashboard provides a unified overview of the system and network status retrieved from SRX Series devices. You can drag widgets from the carousel at the top of the page to your workspace, where you can configure them to meet your needs. When you install Security Director with Junos Space Log Director, the new Log Director dashboard is displayed.

To display the dashboard, select Security Director > Dashboard. The carousel displays all the widget thumbnails by default. You can customize your dashboard as per your needs. For example, you can configure a widget to display a graph with the top 10 applications with the most sessions in the last hour.

To add a widget to the Dashboard, drag the widgets from the palette or thumbnail container into the workspace. Click the refresh icon to update the dashboard or an individual widget. To change the automatic refresh interval, select an interval from the drop-down list, which ranges from 5 minutes up to 7 days.

You can select a root device, a tenant system device, or a logical system device from the Devices drop-down list in the widgets. By default, the All option is selected. Maximum of top 10 devices based on the number of sessions are displayed in the widget.

You can also select the required devices by selecting the Selective option. The data is displayed based on selected devices. Hover over the top-right corner of the widget to edit, refresh, or remove the widget details.

The following dashboard widgets supports the option to display data based on the selected device:

  • IP Top Source IPs by Volume

  • Application Top Application by Volume

  • IP Top Users/IP by sessions

  • Firewall Top Denials

  • Firewall Top Events

  • Firewall Policy Rules with No Hits

  • Devices Most Bandwidth by Bytes

  • Zones Most Bandwidth by Bytes

  • Applications Most Sessions

  • IP Top Destinations

  • IP Top Sources

  • Devices Most Dropped Packets

  • Zones Most Dropped Packets

  • Devices Most Bandwidth by Packets

  • Zones Most Bandwidth by Packets

  • Devices Most Sessions

  • Devices Most Storage

  • NAT Top Src Translation Hits

  • NAT Top Dst Translation Hits

In addition, you can use the dashboard to:

  • Navigate to the Devices page from the devices widgets by clicking the More Details link.

  • Navigate to the Alarms page from devices most alarms widgets by clicking the More Details link.

  • Navigate to the Events and Logs page from an event-based widget.

The dashboard page automatically adjusts the placement of the widgets to dynamically fit on the browser window without changing the order of the widgets. You can manually reorder the widgets using the drag and drop option. The widget can be reordered or moved by holding the top header section of the widget.

Note:

If you are using Policy Enforcer and ATP Cloud with Security Director, additional widgets are added to the dashboard. See Policy Enforcer Dashboard Widgets for those widget descriptions.

Understanding Role-Based Access Control for the Dashboard

Role-based access control (RBAC) has the following impact on the dashboard:

  • You must have Security Analyst or Security Architect role or have permissions equivalent to that role to access the dashboard.

  • You must have the required permissions to edit dashboard widgets. The user role under Administration > Users & Roles must have Event Viewer > Edit DashBoard option enabled to edit the settings on dashboard widgets.

  • You must have Administration > Users & Roles > Event Viewer > View Device Logs option enabled to view or read logs.
