In a network operation center (NOC) you can use the ops board to visualize monitoring information. The monitoring information for various use-cases are arranged in configurable dashlets. To address different user groups it is possible to create multiple ops boards.
There are two visualisation components to display dashlets:
-
Ops Panel: Shows multiple dashlets on one screen, e.g., on a NOC operators workstation
-
Ops Board: Shows one dashlet at a time in rotation, e.g., for a screen wall in a NOC
To create and configure ops boards administration permissions are required. The configuration section is in admin area of {page-component-title} and named ops board Config Web Ui.
