Introduction
------------
VOSS Insights Dashboard is a log analytics platform that allows multiple
data sources and log formats to be consumed, extracted, analyzed, and displayed on dashboards, and to
produce reports from the dashboards.
The system ships with several default dashboards, which you can copy (clone) and edit to
create your own custom dashboards, and you can create new dashboards from scratch.
This guide describes how to use and manage the VOSS Insights Dashboard platform, and includes details
for the following:
* Importing existing dashboard templates
* Configuring new dashboards and widgets
* Cloning existing dashboards
* Ad-hoc report printing
* Scheduling reports
* Searching logs
* Building search extraction queries
* Troubleshooting issues by analyzing the logs being collected
The VOSS Insights platform design allows it to be used in multiple workflows. This guide describes
the system elements that must be configured in a particular order, but there is no overall prescribed
linear flow that must be followed.
