1.1 Dashboard
The Dashboard is the default page, the one that is displayed upon every login. It encompasses several boxes (“plugins”)
organised in two columns that provide a complete overview of the running system and of its health. The top of each box
reports the name of the box. The Dashboard has lately undergone some changes in its usability and new features have
been added to improve the interaction with the user. The information visible on screen are updated at regular intervals.
The available plugins and the information they display are described here.
1.1.1 System Information Plugin

appliance in the title.
Appliance: The appliance type.
