Advanced Monitoring - Customized Dashboards
Introduction
Horizon Customized Dashboards is a feature of the Advanced Monitoring Module. It allows users to customize the reporting
according to what they would like to see for each service. The outcome displays this in a full-screen page able to be displayed on
dedicated monitors or TV screens. The intended use is for NOC and IT departments to be able to monitor these reports,
but it does not limit the use for other purposes.
