The Edge Monitoring Dashboard provides a centralized view of an individual Edge, including connectivity, application activity, and circuit performance. This page is designed to give your operators a quick, actionable understanding of the health of your Graphiant Edges. You can use the Edge Monitoring Dashboard for: - **Quick Edge health validation** - **Troubleshooting connectivity issues** - **Monitoring application and traffic trends** - **Validating segmentation behavior** - **Identifying anomalies or high-usage endpoints** ## Locating the Edge Monitoring Dashboard within the Graphiant Portal From the Home screen, navigate to the Edge Configuration screen by **clicking 'Monitor' in the sidebar; select 'Site Health Dashboard'.** ![Dashboard overview displaying site health, usage statistics, and quick access services.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/monitor site health dashboard.png) This will take you to the **Site Health Dashboard. Scroll down** to see the **Network Devices Section.** ![Site health dashboard displaying network devices and their connectivity status information.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/site health dashboard - network devices(1).png) Under **the column 'Hostname,' select the device which you want to monitor.** ![Site health dashboard displaying network devices and their connectivity status.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/edge-3 site health dashboard highlight.png) You will now be in the Monitoring Dashboard for that Edge. ![Dashboard displaying network topology, site location, applications, and circuit health metrics.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Edge Mon DB full screen view normal dimensions.png) ## Navigating the Edge Monitoring Dashboard The Edge Dashboard is organized into sections. Each section includes quick-view data regarding your Edge and, where applicable, a link to more details. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/image(851).png) > [!NOTE] > Should you desire to view details on a different Edge, or even a different Site, you can select that right from here by: > > **Edge:** Select from the dropdown next to the Edge name at the top left. > > ![Site health dashboard showing network topology and interface options for Chicago location.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Edge Mon DB select diff Edge(1).png) > > > > > > **Site:** Select from the dropdown next to the Site name at the top left. > > ![Site health dashboard displaying network topology and search functionality for locations.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Edge Mon DB Select Diff Site(1).png) ### Network Topology The **Network Topology** section shows a visualization of how the Edge connects to the Graphiant fabric.

Here you can see both ingress and egress traffic trends. ![Graph showing circuit utilization over time with download and upload options available.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Edge Mon DB Circuit Utilization.png) To get further information on the circuits, **click ‘View Circuit Details’** at the bottom. ![Graph showing circuit utilization over time with download and upload options available.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Edge Mon DB Circuit Utilization 'View Circuit Details'.png) Use this panel to identify peak usage times and determine if additional capacity is needed. Sustained high utilization may lead to performance degradation and should be evaluated for scaling.
