Creating Dashboards (Classic UI)

Custom dashboards are collections of panels that visualize AQL search results. You can initiate the creation of a new dashboard in the following ways:

From the Event Search Visualization tab

From the Library

From within a folder

Importing a Dashboard

To import a dashboard from the Library page:

  1. Go to Dashboard >  Library.

  2. Click Import.

  3. On the resulting page, click Upload JSON File and select the JSON file you want to upload. Alternatively, paste a JSON panel in the Import via panel json box.

  4. Enter a dashboard name and select a folder for the dashboard.

  5. Click Import.

The imported dashboard is added to the Library.

Adding a Row to a Dashboard

You can add row separators to dashboards and give the row a title.

To add a row:

  1. Click the Add panel icon() in the tool bar in the upper right corner of the dashboard you want to modify.

    The tool adds a prompt to add a panel or a row.

  2. Click Add a new row.

  3. Mouse over the area to the right of the temporary title and click the settings icon to display the setting menu.

  4. Give the row a title, disregard the Repeat for option, and save your changes.

Adding a Panel to a Dashboard

Note: Anomali allows you to add up to 30 panels to custom dashboards, including cloned dashboards. If you exceed this limit, the dashboard cannot be saved or imported.

Typically, you add a new panel to a dashboard from the Event Search results Visualization tab. See Getting Started with Search.

Within a dashboard, you can add an empty panel, and then use a saved search or build an AQL search and customize visualization and panel settings.

To add an empty panel:

  1. Click the Add panel icon in the tool bar in the upper right corner of the dashboard you want to modify.

    The tool adds a prompt to add a panel or a row.

  2. Click Add an empty panel.

  3. Start with a saved search or specifying a valid AQL query.

  4. Customize panel settings and save your changes.

Adding a Tab to a Dashboard

Note: This is a limited-availability feature. Contact Anomali Customer Support for more information.

You can add tabs to dashboards and give them titles.

To add a tab:

  1. Click the Add panel icon() in the tool bar in the upper right corner of the dashboard you want to modify.

    The tool adds a prompt to add a panel or a row or a tab.

  2. Click Add a new tab. This switches your view to a tab display, wherein you can add up to 5 tabs.

  3. (Optional) Double-click the tab name to rename it.

  4. To add a panel in this tab, complete all the steps in Adding a Panel to a Dashboard.

    5. Note: Any panel you add will be added to the first tab.
