## ArcBox PBI Dashboards Powered by Jumpstart

Now included in ArcBox for ITPro, is the ArcBox Power BI Dashboards.

The ArcBox Power BI (PBI) dashboards provide users with a single pane of glass insights and visualizations for your servers, enabled by Arc or as Azure virtual machines. The dashboard covers a range of scenarios including Server Inventory, SQL Instances on Virtual Machines, SQL Databases on virtual machines and Extended Security Update (ESU) cost forecasting. With the ArcBox PBI Dashboards Powered by Jumpstart, you have a **rich set of Dashboards about your Arc connected estate, available in minutes, not weeks**, which can then be customized to suit your individual requirements.

The ArcBox PBI dashboards contain:

* **Server Inventory** - A detailed inventory of all servers, both Azure and Arc-enabled, providing a clear overview of your server landscape.
* **SQL Inventory** - Information on SQL instances, including both Azure SQL and SQL Servers enabled by Arc, ensuring you have a complete view of your SQL Server environment.
* **Databases** - Insights into databases managed through Azure Arc, helping you track and manage your database assets effectively.
* **ESU Forecast** - An estimate of future costs for Extended Security Updates (ESU) for Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016, based on current pricing. For detailed prices of ESUs, see: [Azure Arc pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/azure-arc/core-control-plane/)

### How to set up the ArcBox PBI Dashboards

1. Installed on _ArcBox-Client_ VM is the "ArcBox Power BI Dashboard". There is a shortcut to this on the desktop of the _ArcBox-Client_ VM.

2. Open the "ArcBox Power BI Dashboard" template. Upon first opening Power BI, it will request a sign in. Enter a valid user or click cancel to ignore.

3. The Dashboard will load and start to connect to sources as part of its refresh. Power BI will prompt for credentials when connecting to sources for the first time.

4. There are 3 main sources used in this dashboard, and the order in which these are requested will be random, but ensure the following are met:

a. "Azure Resource Graph" as shown below:

**Sign in with an Azure login that has "Read" access, or higher to Azure Resource Graph for the subscription(s) where the Arc Box for IT Pros is installed**. Click Connect.

b. "Access Web Content" as shown below:

Ensure "Anonymous" is selected. Click Connect.

c. "Access Web Content" as shown below:

Ensure "Anonymous" is selected. Click Connect.

5. Your dashboard should then load and include all the resources from Azure or Arc for the subscriptions you associate with the login used in the Azure Resource Graph connector.
Save your new Power BI dashboard as a PBIX file.
