Standard sheet
A pre-configured sheet focusing on all the standard events named action-dashboard.xml is available in your Jeyzer installation inside the analyzer/config/report/sheet/dashboard directory. It can be referenced in your report.xml.
Refer to the below sections for any customization, especially if you have adapted/instantiated the Jeyzer monitoring rules to match your needs.
Configuration
Specific sheet attributes :type : must be set to action_dashboardcritical_tab_color : defines the tabulation color in case the sheets contains critical events. Defines also the color of the items count cell – for the current sheet entry – in the navigation sheet. Disabled by default.include_atbi : indicates if the ATBI is considered and displayed in the dashboard.
Monitoring rules
The monitoring rules and related stickers determine the list of action events to display.
See the rules and stickers sections for the configuration details.
<rules>
<rule_sets files="repo://base/@@base-shared-deps@@"/>
<rule_set file="${JEYZER_ANALYZER_CONFIG_DIR}/monitor/rules/standard_rules.xml"/>

</stickers>
Formatting
The following display options are available :
data_format : event date format Java date format syntax
The event date fields are formatted as Excel date cells, which follows the regional settings syntax and display rules. The above date_format applies to text dates like the ones in the event additional information field.
grouping : indicates if consecutive similar events must be grouped. If activate, a collapsed section is created under the first event of the serie. The collapsed section contains the other events. Disabled by default.
group_sorting : events are ordered by date in standard. If the group sorting is active, the events will be grouped first by level (Critical, Warning, Info) and then ordered by date in each one. Disabled by default.
clean_duplicate_events : remove any duplicate event. False by default.
If enabled, it means that several rules of same nature have been defined and are generating therefore duplicate events. It would be preferable to review the rules, which is not always possible when handling various rule sets
ranking : defines the event level highlights (usually centralized for consistency).
<display date_format="yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss" grouping="true" group_sorting="false" clean_duplicate_events="false">
<ranking>
<highlights file="${JEYZER_ANALYZER_CONFIG_DIR}/report/highlights/monitoring-event-ranks.xml"/>
</ranking>
</display>
Function and contention graph generation
The configuration of the graph picture generation and Excel inclusion is centralized. The core parts are defined in the default_setup.xml of your Jeyzer installation.
The function_graph and contention_graph sections override the default configuration to adapt the size of the generated pictures and control the generation parameters for the action dashboard. You should not change those settings.
See the contention and function graph configuration sections for more details on the picture generation.
