Overview dashboard and widgets

  • Last update on October 4th, 2024

The “Overview” dashboard offers a snapshot of your tenant's overall health, including the compliance rate for policies enabled in your Playbooks. It displays the count of critical and warning policy violations. This tab also gives you access to the Configuration Manager, allowing you to track changes in your tenant. 

This guide will introduce you to the features and widgets available in this section.

Overview widgets

Overall tenant grade

The “Overall tenant grade” widget provides insight into your tenant's health. It assigns a grade ranging from A+ (indicating the highest possible tenant health score) to F. This grading reflects a compliance percentage with your policies, ranging from 100% to 0%. The calculation considers only the enabled critical and warning policies for which you have set a threshold. Non-compliance with critical policies has a more significant impact on reducing your score compared to warning policies. For further details, please refer to the guide on understanding your tenant score.

Total policies with violations

The “Total policies with violations” widget provides a summary of enabled policies that have either critical or warning severity levels and are not compliant across your Playbooks. Critical policies are indicated by a red danger icon, and warning policies by a yellow danger icon.

Tenant setting in the last 7 days (Configuration Manager)

This widget provides a summary of the configuration changes detected in your tenant settings during the last week. By clicking on it, you'll be directed to a detailed report that outlines the changes identified over time. Additionally, from this report, you can access the Configuration Manager.

Playbook widgets

Each Playbook, whether out-of-the-box or custom, with at least one enabled policy, has a widget. This widget displays the compliance score across all enabled policies, using a color code for quick reference:

  • Green: indicates the Playbook is 75-100% compliant, requiring no immediate action.
  • Yellow: suggests the Playbook is 50-74% compliant, needing some attention, though it's not critical.
  • Red: signals the Playbook is less than 50% compliant, urging prompt action to address violations.

In the widget's top-right corner, the total number of enabled policies is shown. Clicking this number directs you to the specific Playbook tab, where all enabled policies are listed.

Clicking on the number of critical (indicated by the red danger icon) or warning policies (marked with the yellow danger icon) will direct you to the Playbook tab, specifically filtered to show the category of policies that need attention.
