Overview page
The Overview page provides a quick view of the status of a switch. It shows easy-to-read indicators for: Analytics agents, power supply, thermal, fans, CPU use, memory use, log entries, checkpoints, firmware, management modules, and system information.
Custom indicator panels allow you to select specific interfaces to monitor and to add panels for those interfaces to the Overview page.
Ensure that both the switch and the client where the Web UI is running are set to use NTP or to a time zone based on UTC time. Otherwise, the NAE agent data might be incorrect or missing and the System Uptime will be incorrect. For example, if the time on the switch is set to 2 hours ahead of the client manually, instead of changing the time zone offset, the agent data is populated according to the new time on the switch. If the switch time is set back to match the client time later, the Time Series Database does not overwrite the old data. Therefore the client Web UI shows inaccurate data.

The following table describes the different panels displayed on the Overview page.
| Panel | Description |
|---|---|
| Analytics | Shows: Total number of agents in critical, major, or minor status; total number of agents scripts, agents, and monitors (both enabled and disabled) compared to the maximum number supported on the switch. For example, 7/25 indicates that there are a total of 7 out of a supported maximum of 25. Clicking the link displays the Analytics Dashboard. Not applicable to the 6100 Switch Series. |
