Adding Time Series widgets to dashboards in Security Desk - Industrial IoT 5.2.0.0 | BACnet | Modbus | OPC Client | SNMP Manager

To monitor data points of a device or entity over a period in a Security Desk dashboard, you can create Time Series widgets in the Dashboards task of Security Desk.

1. From the Security Desk homepage, open the Dashboards task.
2. In the Time Series section, click and drag the Line chart widget to the dashboard.
3. In the Line chart section, add the data points you want to show:
   Click Add a data point () and enter the details:

   Plugin

   The plugin that manages the data point. It is always Industrial IoT.

   Entity

   Select a device or an entity.

   Data point

   Select the data point you want to monitor.

   Time range

   Select the period that you want to review.

   Refresh rate

   Enter the frequency at which the data point should be polled for data.

   Chart type

   Select the type of chart to view data.

   
4. (Optional) In the General section, customize the widget:
   • To give a title to the widget, turn on the Show title option and enter a title in the Title field.
   • From the Background list, select a color for the background of the widget.

   NOTE: The data shown in the widget is always the live value so the Auto refresh switch in the General section is not supported by BACnet, Modbus Client, OPC Client, and SNMP Client.
5. Click Done.
