Dashboard Overview
The Dashboard is your central command view for the entire SecureLink deployment. It provides real-time visibility into your edge fleet, network performance, and security posture at a glance.
KPI Cards
The top of the dashboard displays five key performance indicator cards:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Edges Online | Number of edges currently connected and reporting heartbeats out of your total fleet |
| Config Status | Breakdown of edge configuration states: synced, pending, and failed |
| Active VPN Tunnels | Total number of active WireGuard tunnels across all edges (both IoT and Apps VPN) |
| Security Alerts | Count of recent Suricata IDS/IPS alerts requiring attention |
| Traffic Throughput | Aggregate bandwidth across all edges in real time |
Click on any KPI card to drill directly into the relevant detail page. For example, clicking Edges Online takes you to the Edges list filtered by status, and clicking Security Alerts navigates to the security monitoring view.
Fleet Status
The fleet status section provides a visual breakdown of your edge device health:
- Pie chart showing the distribution of edge statuses: online (green), offline (red), and degraded (yellow)
- Bar chart displaying the count of edges in each state for quick comparison
This section helps you quickly identify if a significant portion of your fleet is experiencing issues.
Traffic Chart
The traffic chart displays aggregate bandwidth consumption over time across all edges in your tenant.
- Select a time range from the dropdown (last hour, 6 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, or custom)
- Hover over data points to see exact throughput values at specific timestamps
- Inbound and outbound traffic are displayed as separate series
The chart updates automatically as new telemetry data arrives from your edges.
Security Posture
The security posture panel summarizes your network's security status:
- Suricata IDS/IPS Alerts: Recent intrusion detection and prevention alerts grouped by severity (critical, high, medium, low)
- ACL Hit Counts: Summary of access control list rule matches showing which rules are actively filtering traffic
This gives you immediate visibility into potential threats without navigating away from the dashboard.
Notifications Panel
The notifications panel on the right side of the dashboard shows a chronological feed of recent events:
- Alerts: Security events and threshold breaches
- Config Changes: When edge configurations are modified or synced
- Device Status Changes: Edges coming online, going offline, or entering degraded state
Each notification includes a timestamp and a link to the relevant detail page.
Auto-Refresh
The dashboard refreshes automatically at regular intervals to keep the displayed data current. You do not need to manually reload the page to see updated metrics.
A subtle refresh indicator appears briefly in the corner when data is being updated. If you need to force an immediate refresh, use the refresh button in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
