Dashboard tab

The Dashboard view summarizes monitoring information about sessions, alerts, services, reports, connectivity, and general system health. The Dashboard is divided into a number of sections, providing a summary of each of the monitoring tabs, and system performance.

The Dashboard is useful to quickly identify critical issues related to Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway. You can use it daily to verify the status of critical servers and services. For example, you can use the Dashboard to check that the Forefront TMG services are available and that servers are connected. After you check the operating status, you can review any alerts in order to check if any attacks have been thwarted or if any specific problem requires your immediate attention. Each Dashboard section contains an icon. A yellow warning icon or red error icon indicates that you may want to check settings and behavior. A green icon indicates that everything is functioning as expected. You can tailor the columns for each section that appears in the Dashboard, or you can navigate from section titles to the relevant monitoring tab.
