4 Configuring general server settings Configuring general server settings Specifying default dashboards and dashboard refresh intervals The Dashboards server setting specifies the default dashboard a user sees when logging on to your server, as well as the rate at which all dashboards are refreshed. You can specify which dashboard a user sees when they log on to your ePolicy Orchestrator server for the first time by mapping it to the user's permission set. Mapping dashboards to permission sets ensures that users assigned a particular role are automatically presented with the information they need. Users with permission to view dashboards other than their default see the most recent dashboard they viewed each time they go to the Dashboards page. Using the Dashboards server setting, you can also: • Configure which dashboard is displayed to users who belong to a permission set that does not have a default dashboard assignment. • Control the automatic refresh rate for dashboards. Dashboards are refreshed automatically. Each time a refresh occurs, the underlying query is run, and the results displayed in the dashboard. When query results contain large amounts of data, a short refresh interval might impact available bandwidth. McAfee recommends that you choose a refresh interval (5 minutes by default) that is frequent enough to ensure accurate and timely information is displayed without consuming undue network resources.
