SRM widgets

The SolarWinds SolarWinds Platform Web Console gives you access to dashboards with widgets that use charts and tables to visually convey current and historic storage data, using visually impactful charts and tables.

Hover over a highlighted object to display a popup showing current information.

Click on the object to navigate to its detail page.
For widgets containing tables or lists, a search box is available. Only the first column of data in the table is searched.
Click Edit to customize the widget.
Click Help to open the online help topic for this widget.

You can configure the default widgets on the Storage Summary, Performance Dashboard, and Capacity Dashboard. Select from over 60 widgets specifically provided for SRM to create a personalized dashboard.

The Getting Started Monitoring File Storage for EMC VNX Arrays widget is unique in that it does not show data, but enables you to quickly add storage devices to be monitored.
