Using the Universal Dashboard

The Dashboard tab default view displays the “Universal Dashboard.” The Universal Dashboard provides the administrator—upon initial login with factory defaults—a geographical map displaying SonicWALL GMS deployment information.

The Geographical View displays the following SonicWALL GMS elements graphically:

•	SonicWALL GMS-managed units—such as Firewall, CDP, SRA, and Email Security appliances

•	SonicWALL GMS-host servers—such as UMH hosts in server, console agent, or database role configurations

•	Auto-discovered units behind the SonicWALL GMS remotely-managed units—such as configured network address objects like public servers

Depending on the administrative access privileges that a logged in user has, the right subset of objects in the previous image are displayed on the geographical map. For example, the “SonicWALL GMS Servers” is available for display in the map only for the Administrators group users of LocalDomain.
