Dashboard customization
DX NetOps now features customizable dashboards that give all users some important new features and capabilities. In addition, with the solution’s new integration capabilities, DX NetOps enables users of current analytics and reporting tools to add standardized dashboards over time.
The benefits of customizable dashboards
1. Advanced visualization capabilities and granular UX controls
Customizable dashboards give users creative control. The solution offers these powerful visualization features:
-
Conditional color formatting: Users can define visual rules that automatically highlight critical data trends and performance thresholds.
-
Highly flexible layouts: DX NetOps now features adaptable, multi-variable dashboard structures that can be adjusted to fit specific operational styles.
-
Automated time-frame resolution: The solution offers an improved query interface that automatically adjusts data granularity when zooming in or out. This represents a major backend benefit that eliminates historical time-resolution gaps and prevents broken or empty graphs.
2. Streamlined dashboard standardization and business intelligence (BI) centralization
Export to enterprise environments: Dashboard configurations built within the DX NetOps environment can be seamlessly and directly exported to an external Grafana Enterprise instance. This makes it incredibly easy for engineering teams to merge network infrastructure telemetry (including inventory, performance, and flow) with high-level corporate BI or cloud metrics in their existing centralized corporate dashboards.
Tailored insights across your organization
Common use cases of customizable dashboards showcase unique versatility. These dashboards offer not only diverse graphing features, but the ability to serve distinct operational personas. Because DX NetOps now provides flexible layouts and multi-variable graphing, teams can easily mold the same underlying data to fit the requirements of these specific roles:
-
Network operations engineers: Customizable dashboards deliver tactical, high-density troubleshooting views. Engineers can build "Top N" tables to instantly isolate the top talkers, pinpoint interface discards, and cross-reference real-time bandwidth with CPU and memory spikes.
-
IT management: Customizable dashboards translate that same raw infrastructure data into strategic health summaries. Managers can track long-tail trends, monitor overall network experience insights, and understand network KPIs.
This dashboard in DX NetOps provides high-level performance metrics and supporting device details.
With the ability to customize dashboards in DX NetOps 25.4.10, executing and standardizing these role-based views becomes even easier. Every user gets the precise, clear data they need on a single, unified platform. This release eliminates complex API proxies, secures access via unified SSO, and natively smooths out backend data resolution.
Customizing dashboards for existing users
For existing DX NetOps users, migrating to customizable dashboards in release 25.4.10 requires no immediate action. However, it is a good time to review your current dashboarding and reporting and identify requirements that are not currently being met.
To help users that want to adopt customizable dashboards, Broadcom provides a comprehensive GitHub repository filled with pre-built, out-of-the-box dashboards that you can rapidly adopt and modify as needed. Furthermore, Spectrum Report Manager (SRM) users can modernize right away via a direct MySQL data source integration.
Note that customizable dashboards use unmodified Grafana OSS to visualize your DX NetOps data. If your team requires multi-source corporate BI mashups, you can take advantage of our improvements in OData v4 to export data into your centralized BI systems.
Future enhancements
Looking ahead, we plan to continually expand our dashboarding capabilities. This summer, we will introduce an AppNeta data source, enabling teams to merge native network infrastructure metrics with network experience monitoring on a single canvas. Future updates will also deliver new reporting data formats and automated email distribution. Under the hood, we are committed to the ongoing refinement of our query builder and APIs, ensuring the entire DX NetOps pipeline remains inherently open and standards-based as your enterprise monitoring needs evolve.
