The Dashboard tool

The Dashboard tool allows you to view information about the current activity on the GV STRATUS system.

You can launch the Dashboard tool in the GV STRATUS application and in the GV STRATUS Control Panel from the Navigator panel under the Monitors node.

You can also drag and drop the Dashboard tool into the Favorites panel to easily access your Dashboard status.

The Storage tab reports storage capacity available on K2 devices and on the local GV STRATUS PC. You can right-click on the Used report to explore storage levels further.

The Channel Status tab displays channel state and usage information. You can customize the display of list items, similar to Asset List items, with features such as sort, filter, and add/remove columns.

When a channel has an asset loaded, the asset details display in an expandable, separate line below the channel. You can also view the status of each channel whether it's idle, recording, or cueing assets.

The Statistics tab displays data in graphical form for change notices, asset count, user sessions, system sessions, and top 5 of assets per bin in the GV STRATUS system. Those statistics can also be viewed via an internet browser at: http://<coreservername>/webapps/statistics/

The Quotas tab displays the amount of disk space that the GV STRATUS system reserved for specific bins and the current quota usage. The quota of each bin is configurable via the StorNext Administration application on K2 Summits. The quota display turns orange when the disk space is less than 100MB of the limit, and turns red when it reaches the limit. The Quota Status icon displays on the status bar when the quota limit is reached. You can click the icon to launch the status viewer panel and view the quota limit.

If a webpage is configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel for display in the Dashboard tool, you can see the webpage display on the next tab.
