Branding

Select Branding from the side menu of Admin Settings to display its sub-menu. This menu allows users to configure the branding of their main page. Each menu option is described below.

If a user belongs to multiple organizations, an Organization drop-down menu will appear at the top right corner of the window. Use this menu to switch between organizations and make updates for each organization.

On each Branding page, there is the option at the top right of the screen, Use default values based on X Organization. Use this option if you would like to use your organization’s default branding instead of customized organization configurations. In the example below, Nastel is the organization.

Logos

Select Logos from the Branding sub-menu to change the logos appearing on the main application window.

Login page

Select Login Page from the Branding sub-menu to configure the login page settings.

Landing page

Select Landing Page from the Branding sub-menu to specify the text of the landing page. The character limit is displayed immediately to the right of each field.

Index page

Select Index Page from the Branding sub-menu to specify the contact email and hyperlinks for feedback, collectors and check/upgrade license pages.

Logout page

Select Logout Page from the Branding sub-menu to specify the logout message text. The character limit appears immediately to the right of the Logout message text field.

Views

A View represents a named query whose result is evaluated on a defined interval. After each periodic evaluation, the results are cached for quick retrieval. The implementation is analogous to an SQL Materialized View.

Views can be implemented directly using jKQL, or through the user interface.

Let’s define a simple View using jKQL:

Upsert View Name='TestView',
    jkql='Get Number Of Events Group By EventName',
    Schedule='1 day';

This view will be evaluated every 1 day, and the result of the query will be cached.

Let’s define the same view through the user interface. You would define it using the Create button on the Views tab of Admin Settings. It would be look like this:

Refer to the jKQL User’s Guide for more information on views.

Viewlet settings

Select Viewlet from the side menu of Admin Settings to specify maximum data points per viewlet page and maximum data groups in summary viewlets.

Maximum Data Points per Viewlet Page is the specified data amount that can be displayed in each viewlet. When a viewlet has more data records than the specified limit, additional pages will be present to view all data. The amount of data points displayed can be manually changed, by configuring the viewlet size.

The Maximum Data Groups in Summary Viewlet defines how many data groups can be combined into one summary viewlet.

Graph

Customize default colors for severity and status fields used in charts:
