== Dashboard ==
Dashboards are defined by administrator and allow to combine any available visualization components with data from multiple sources in order to create high-level views to see network (or parts of it) health at a glance. Not all elements are currently available for the mobile console, dashboards are properly refreshed according to their schedule.
