Dashboard

Overview

The Dashboard page allows you to see live metrics about your environment at a glance, including Device health, Device count (and changes), deployment performance, and vulnerability exposure at a glance. 

Most elements on the Dashboard are interactive — clicking a widget takes you directly into the relevant filtered view in Connect so you can move from insight to action without hunting.

Some dashboard widgets are scoped to show information over a customizable lookback window (7 days by default). 

Devices

Devices that need attention

The Devices that need attention section displays a current count of:

• Stale devices (Offline 7+ days)
• Low disk space (<20% remaining)
• Needs reboot (updates or installations pending a device reboot)

Click any of the sections to go to a filtered Devices view showing those specific devices, in order to easily take action on them. 

Total Devices

In the Total Devices section, you can see the size of your device fleet and how it has changed over time. 

The New flag indicates devices that are <3 days old, matching the meaning of the New flag on the Devices page. Click the New device count to go to a filtered view containing all new devices. 

Operating system breakdown

The Operating system breakdown section displays a stacked bar chart of each OS version in your environment.

You can mouse over each OS version to see a flyover containing a count of each major version of that OS. 

Click on any of the sections to go to a filtered view containing devices running that specific OS version (e.g. Windows 11 25H2). 

Deployments

The Deployments graph will show the count of total and failed deployments. 

Click on the number below Total deployments or Failed deployments in the top left corner to take you to a filtered view containing those specific deployments.

The trend line can help to distinguish a one-off bad day from a systemic issue (i.e. increased failure rate over time). 

You can mouse over a date the graph to display the totals for that specific date.

Vulnerabilities

The active vulnerabilities trend section will display all vulnerabilities in your environment, broken down by Active, Resolved, and New. 

You can use the trend line to evaluate how your remediation efforts are keeping pace with new exposure over time. 

Click the numbers in the top left corner to see a filtered Vulnerabilities view containing only those items. 

You can mouse over a date the graph to display the totals for that specific date. 

Most impacted software

The Most impacted software section shows software grouped by vulnerability count, with the devices containing the most critical vulnerabilities at the top.

You can click the software name to see its listing on the Software page, containing showing all devices running vulnerable versions, and letting you easily deploy a package or set up an automation to remediate it. 

For those vulnerabilities which have a PDQ Package Library package recommended, you can click Deploy latest directly from the dashboard to deploy the latest version of that software to all affected devices. 

As with other deployment actions on the platform, you will see a list of targeted devices and the selected package to confirm before proceeding with the deployment. 

Active vulnerabilities

The Active vulnerabilities view contains gauge charts of the count of active vulnerabilities by severity, with a colored band representing the percentage of the total that each category represents. 

You can click any of the numbers to see a filtered vulnerability list of all vulnerabilities at each severity level. 

Outstanding vulnerabilities by age

The Outstanding vulnerabilities by age graph groups vulnerabilities by both severity and age - and you can click on any of the individually colored bar chart sections to see a filtered view containing only those vulnerabilities at the target age and severity. 

On the Vulnerabilities page, you can click the hamburger menu in the top left to view which filters are in effect. 

Median time to remediate

The Median time to remediate graph displays a breakdown (by vulnerability severity) of the actual elapsed time that it took to remediate vulnerabilities by severity within your environment. 

This figure represents the average time elapsed between when a vulnerable device software installation is first detected on a device in your environment and the time when it was detected as Resolved on that device.

Vulnerabilities marked as ignored do not appear on this graph. 

This graph displays the average based on remediation data over the past 90 days.

Dashboard settings

Customizable lookback window

The default lookback window is Last 7 days, but you can set it to a custom window of up to 90 days back from the current date. 

To change the lookback window, click the current window in the upper-right corner:


Select one of the suggested windows (This week, Last 7 days, This month, Last 30 days, Last 90 days), or use the date selector to select a custom date range. Then click Ok. 

Colors

To customize the colors used on the Dashboard page, click the color bar in the top right corner and choose your preferred colors. 

Set Dashboard as Connect homepage

By default, your the page that loads when you first log into Connect will be the Devices page. 

If you would prefer to see the Dashboard as your homepage, you can change this in by clicking Settings (gear icon) | Preferences. Under Default page, click Dashboard.
