Manage dashboard monitors

You can create, add, and remove monitors from dashboards.

You must have write permissions for the dashboard you are modifying.

If you do not have the necessary rights or product licenses to view a monitor, or if the underlying query for the monitor is no longer available, a message displays in place of the monitor.

    Note

    If you add a Custom URL Viewer monitor that contains Adobe Flash content or ActiveX controls to a dashboard, it is possible the content might obscure ePO - On-prem menus, making portions of the menu inaccessible.
