Custom Dashboard

The Custom Dashboard page in NCache Management Center allows monitoring of selected cache counters in a customized dashboard view. A custom dashboard can be created for different cache store types and can display server-side or client-side counters based on monitoring requirements.

Dashboard Creation View

The Dashboard Creation view appears when a new dashboard is added from the Monitor page. It provides fields for defining the dashboard name and selecting the dashboard view type.

The Custom Dashboard view displays the counters added by the user. The dashboard area remains empty until counters are added from the Counter Panel.
