The **Dashboard** focuses on providing business visibility through the following workspaces: Asset, Security, and Networking. These workspaces are tailored to deliver real-time insights and visualizations, so you can keep track of critical metrics and system health**.**

- The **Assets** workspace is the default workspace for the **Monitor **page. It displays real-time statistics about your network assets. You can view information related to assets that are in the zombie, unregistered, non-compliant state. For information, see *[Viewing the Assets Workspace](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/847119201)*.
- The **Security** workspace displays information related to blocked and detected threats in your system. For information, see *[Viewing Security Workspace](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneThreatDefense/pages/1613758759)*.
- The **Network** workspace give you an at-a-glance view of the networking statistics, such as domain resolution time, IP address utilization, and the percentage of available services that are currently running on your NIOS-X servers. For information, see *[Viewing the Network Workspace](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/1196590637)*.


> ℹ️ **Known Issue**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ **1. The Rollup Summary is not displaying full result numbers. The result numbers are masked by the "..." abbreviation.**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ **Workaround**: In order to view the result numbers, the page resolution must be resized to 50 percent of its normal size. To resize your browser window, follow the instructions below based on your operating system. Alternatively, hover over the tool tip to view the non-masked, total result numbers. 
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - **Windows**: To resize the browser page resolution on a Windows machine, use the keyboard shortcut **Ctrl + -** to zoom out; to reset to the default size, use **Ctrl 0**. you can also access zoom settings through your browser menu and adjust the zoom level there, or use the mouse scroll wheel while holding down the **Ctrl** key to zoom in or out.   
> ℹ️ **OSX**: To resize the browser page resolution on an OSX machine, use the keyboard shortcuts **Command -** to zoom out; to reset to the default size, use **Command 0**. You can also access these options through the browser's "View" menu.
> ℹ️ - **Linux**: To resize the browser page resolution on a Linux machine, use the keyboard shortcut **Ctrl +** Mouse Wheel while holding down the "Ctrl" key, which allows you to zoom in and out of the webpage with the mouse scroll wheel; you can also access zoom options directly within your browser settings menu.
> ℹ️ - **iOS**: To resize the browser page resolution on an iOS device, simply use the **pinch-to-zoom** gesture on the screen; pinch your fingers together to zoom out and make the page smaller, or spread your fingers apart to zoom in and make the page larger.
> ℹ️ - **Android**: To resize a browser page resolution on an Android device, use the zoom function within your browser app: open the webpage, then pinch your fingers together to zoom out or spread them apart to zoom in; you can also access zoom settings within the browser menu to adjust the default zoom level for all pages.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ **2. Roll-up widgets may not render correctly in generated PDFs. If the zoom level is set to 50% or lower, some roll-up widgets, such as pie charts  may not render correctly in the generated PDF. This behavior was observed for pie charts and other graphs in the following browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. **
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ **Workaround**: Increase the browser zoom level to above 50% before generating the PDF resoves the rendering issue.

> The Dashboard provides a quick overview of the overall health of your Infoblox services. It displays widgets that give you snapshots of the high-level traffic within your network infrastructure, the RPZ hits per policy, and the categories of threats that affect your organization most often. Widgets are the building blocks of your Dashboard*, *and you can add or remove them to customize the Dashboard to suit the needs of your organization.
> 
> Certain widgets can display data in a bar chart or an area chart, and you can toggle between these charts. To view detail about specific data points on a chart, pause the cursor across the X and Y axis. You can also filter data elements in the legend of a chart and dynamically update the chart to display data most critical to you.

> - **Total** is the total number of unique IP addresses. An active IP address is one that has been assigned administratively, is seen in a new or renewed DHCP lease, or is seen as a source IP in a DNS query.
> - **Static** is the total number of static IP addresses that are any of the following:
>   - assigned to a fixed address
>   - reserved

> - **DHCP Clients** is the total number of IP addresses in new and renewed DHCP leases.
> - **DNS Clients** is the total number of source IP addresses found in DNS queries.
> - **Total Infoblox Instances** is the total number of instances. An instance is a single host with DDI (DHCP and/or DNS) services enabled or a pair of hosts configured in co-located Active/Passive or Active/Active DHCP HA groups. For example, a single host counts as one instance; a pair of hosts in Active/Passive or Active/Active count as one instance; and a pair of hosts in Advanced Active/Passive count as two instances. A host can be in multiple Advanced Active/Passive groups but is counted as one instance in the total number of instances.
> 
> > ⚠️ - DNS Queries is the total number of inbound queries received by all deployed DNS servers.
> > ⚠️ - Active IPs are unique IPs that are administratively assigned in IPAM and observed from DHCP lease or DNS query operations.
> > ⚠️ - Instances are deployed hosts with DNS, DHCP, or both enabled. A pair of DHCP HA devices are counted as a single instance.
