The Dashboard gives you a first glance into the health of your system, the status of your data protection jobs, SnapVault status for Microsoft SQL and Oracle databases. To understand the information provided in SnapCenter reports, it is helpful for you to know what information is provided and what it means. Similar reports display on the Reports pages.
Information displayed in the Dashboard view depends on the roles assigned to the user that is currently logged in to SnapCenter. Some tiles or information in the tiles might not display if a role assigned to a user does not have permission to view that information.
For information on the SnapCenter VMware vSphere web client Dashboard, see the SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere documentation.
