Expand all | Collapse all

To create a layout:

1. Open the KUMA web interface and select the Dashboard section.
2. Open the drop-down list in the top right corner of the Dashboard window and select Create layout.

   The New layout window opens.

3. In the Tenants drop-down list, select the tenants that will own the created layout and whose data will be used to fill the widgets of the layout.

   The selection of tenants in this drop-down list does not matter if you want to create a universal layout (see below).

4. In the Time period drop-down list, select the time period from which you require analytics:
   • 1 hour
   • 1 day (this value is selected by default)
   • 7 days
   • 30 days
   • In period—receive analytics for the custom time period. The time period is set using the calendar that is displayed when this option is selected.

     The upper boundary of the period is not included in the time slice defined by it. In other words, to receive analytics for a 24-hour period, you should configure the period as Day 1, 00:00:00 – Day 2, 00:00:00 instead of Day 1, 00:00:00 – Day 1, 23:59:59.

5. In the Refresh every drop-down list, select how often data should be updated in layout widgets:
   • 1 minute
   • 5 minutes
   • 15 minutes
   • 1 hour (this value is selected by default)
   • 24 hours

   In the Add widget drop-down list, select the required widget and configure its settings. You can add multiple widgets. You can drag widgets around the window and resize them using the diagonal () button that appears when you hover over a widget.

   The following limitations apply to widgets with the Pie chart, Bar chart, Line chart, Counter, and Date Histogram chart types:

   • In SELECT queries, you can use extended event schema fields of String, Number, and Float types.
   • In WHERE queries, you can use all types of extended event schema fields (String, Number, Float, Array of strings, Array of numbers, and Array of floats).

   For widgets with the Table chart type, in SELECT queries, you can use all types of extended event schema fields (String, Number, Float, Array of strings, Array of numbers, and Array of floats).

   You can do the following with widgets:

   • Add widgets.

     To add widget:

     1. Click the Add widget drop-down list and select required widget.

        The window with widget parameters opens. You can check how the widget will look like by clicking the Preview button.

     2. Configure widget parameters and click the Add button.
   • Edit widgets.

     To edit widget:

     1. Hover over the required widget and click the gear () icon that appears.
     2. In the drop-down list select Edit.

        The window with widget parameters opens. You can check how the widget will look like by clicking the Preview button.

     3. Update widget parameters and click the Save button.

   You can edit and delete a widget added to the layout by hovering over the widget, clicking the gear () icon that appears, and then selecting Edit or Delete.

6. In the Layout name field, enter a unique name for this layout. Must contain 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
7. If necessary, click the gear () icon on the right of the layout name field and select the check boxes next to the additional layout settings:
   • Universal—if you select this check box, layout widgets display data from tenants that you select in the Selected tenants section in the menu on the left. This means that the data in the layout widgets will change based on your selected tenants without having to edit the layout settings. For universal layouts, tenants selected in the Tenants drop-down list are not taken into account.

     If this check box is cleared, layout widgets display data from the tenants that are selected in the Tenants drop-down list in the layout settings. If any of the tenants selected in the layout are not available to you, their data will not be displayed in the layout widgets.

     You cannot use the Active lists and context tables widget in universal layouts.

     Universal layouts can only be created and edited by General administrators. Such layouts can be viewed by all users.

   • Show CII-related data—if you select this check box, layout widgets will also show data on assets, alerts, and incidents related to critical information infrastructure (CII). In this case, these layouts will be available for viewing only by users whose settings have the Access to CII facilities check box selected.

     If this check box is cleared, layout widgets will not display data on CII-related assets, alerts, and incidents, even if the user has access to CII objects.

8. Click Save.

The new layout is created and is displayed in the Dashboard section of the KUMA web interface.
