Dashboard introduction

The dashboard is the first thing that appears in the GUI when logging into the Automation controller. This will show the following things:

  • The total number of hosts
  • The number of failed hosts
  • The number of inventories
  • Inventory sync failures
  • The number of projects
  • Project sync failures
  • A job-status graph of successful jobs versus failures
  • Recent jobs
  • Recent templates

The dashboard looks like this:

Figure 5.1 – The Automation controller dashboard

The dashboard chart can be adjusted to display a different period of time, only certain job types, or only successful or failed jobs.

Along the side is the navigation for accessing all the objects in the Automation controller:

Figure 5.2 – The Automation controller navigation bar

The navigation bar is the primary way of navigating the Automation controller.
