Tile

Each tile of the hive is a summary of a Dashboard.

A dashboard is a visual container of information which will help you to investigate issue sources (see Dashboard chapter for more details).

It contains:

The name of the dashboard, The summary of the 3 widgets that are used to compute the status of a dashboard (see Widgets chapter)

.

, The status of the

dashboadit is always the

dashboard. The worst status

which

will define the tile's status (See Status & Context) If the 3 summary are OK, then central status will be OK. If there is

almost

at least 1 Warning, then central status will be Warning. If there is

almost

at least 1 KO, then central status will be KO. The background of the tile will be of the color status. For improve reading of the hive, the background color of the tiles reflect the situation of dashboard: If a context was defined then the background color of the tiles divides into two: Above, the context color (purple for acknowledge, dark grey for Downtime) Below, the status color (red for Critical, green for Ok, .
