Welcome to the VOSS Insights Dashboard System#
Overview#
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.
