Dashboard

The Dashboard tab gives you a simple, comprehensive, and objective snapshot of your security status and provides associated metrics. These aggregated results and statuses are presented in manageable chunks of visual information that enable you to see what is going well, what needs improvement, and if necessary, where action is required. To access your Dashboard:

1. Ensure that you are logged into your Botguard account.
2. In the BotGuard user interface (UI), click Dashboard from the main navigation menu bar.
3. In the secondary menu bar, the tab Today displays by default. Optionally, change the period in scope by clicking one of the other tabs: This month, This week, or Yesterday.

4. Use the widgets displayed at the tope of the page to keep up to date on your security metrics. The table after this image details all the widgets and provides a summary of each.
