Dashboard

The dashboard page in the Management Portal provides a centralized view of your PKIClosed A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a set of roles, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. environment, helping you monitor key metrics such as expiring certificates, endpointClosed An endpoint is a URL that enables the API to gain access to resources on a server. discovery results, and certificate usage trends—all at a glance. This real-time visibility enables you to identify areas that require attention—such as certificates nearing expiration or endpoints that failed to present a valid certificate—and act before issues arise. A customizable dashboard format, introduced in version 25.3, allows you to tailor this view to your needs.

Tip:  Where to find this in the Management Portal:
Dashboard

The dashboard is displayed by default when accessing the Management Portal. If the legacy dashboard is installed, it is shown unless the user has navigated to the new dashboard.

When the new dashboard is displayed and has not yet been configured, a blank dashboard appears along with an option to apply a pre-configured layout if the user has access to at least one certificate collectionClosed The certificate search function allows you to query the Keyfactor Command database for certificates from any available source based on any criteria of the certificates and save the results as a collection that will be available in other places in the Management Portal (for example expiration alerts and certain reports). or has global certificate read permissions. To auto-populate the dashboard, select a certificate collection (see Use a Pre-Configured Dashboard). To continue without applying a layout, dismiss the dialog by clicking Cancel or navigating away from the page. It is not necessary to close the dialog before leaving the dashboard.

Your dashboard widgets can be organized up to 6 columns wide and extend vertically up to the limit of 20 configured widgets. Keyfactor Command provides the PKI information in various types of widgets. See Table 7: Widget Chart Types for a description of the widget types.

Widgets can be in one of three states at any one time.

  • Value returned: The widget will return a result, even if that result is no data.

  • Loading state: While it retrieves data, the widget is in the loading state and will display a spinning Please Wait icon.

  • Error State: A View Error button displays if the widget is in an error state. Clicking the button opens a dialog that explains the cause of the error. For example, this may occur if the widget runs on a collection that has been deleted or for which permission is not granted.

Tip:  The legacy dashboard will be available for a limited time and will be removed in a future release. See Legacy Dashboard.
