Overview of dashboard widgets

This topic describes the WebSphere® Business Monitor dashboard widgets and utilities.

WebSphere Business Monitor provides the following widgets that you can add to a dashboard:
  • Alerts: Displays alerts that notify users of defined situations occurring at run time.
  • Diagrams: Displays diagrams associated with a particular monitoring context or KPI context.
  • Human Tasks: Displays all available human tasks and can be used to perform actions on them. See the WebSphere Business Monitor System Requirements to verify the supported versions of WebSphere Process Server.
  • Instances: Displays the available monitoring contexts in either individual instances or user-defined groups of context instances.
  • KPIs: Displays details of key performance indicators (KPIs), such as a KPI value relative to the defined ranges and the target, if applicable, and the status.
  • KPI History and Prediction: Displays a history of KPI values and a projection for the future. From this information, you are able to understand how a KPI has trended over time and how it could trend in the future.
Optionally, you can install AlphaBlox so that users can add the following items on their dashboards:
  • Dimensions: Displays a multidimensional view of business performance data. You can generate multidimensional reports that analyze different aspects of data retrieved from a multidimensional data mart.
  • Reports: Displays performance reports relative to a time axis. This item helps you to analyze historical values of numeric business measures that belong to a cube.
WebSphere Business Monitor tools include:
  • Alert Manager: Use to subscribe and unsubscribe to different predefined alerts. Along with subscribing to an alert, the user can choose the type of notification channel associated with each alert.
  • Export Values: Use to export data resulting from a specific monitor model and duration to an XML file that can be imported by WebSphere Business Modeler.
  • KPI Manager: Use to define, copy, and update KPIs directly from the dashboard interface.
