Working with ETM Dashboard

You can use the default dashboard provided by Qualys or easily configure widgets and add them to your dashboard. You can also add as many dashboards as you like to customize your security posture view. For help on creating widgets, dashboards, templates and more, refer to the Unified Dashboard online help.

ETM Dashboard Widgets

When you add a new widget to your ETM dashboard, you see several options available for different widget types: Numerical, Bar, Table, Pie and TruRisk score. Here in this topic we show you a few examples below to help you get started.

Ratio and Comparison for Numerical Widgets

Use the Ratio function type for a Numerical widget to compare two counts that could be retrieved from the search queries you provide for the widget. Define the search queries in Query Settings. Learn more.

The following image illustrates the widget configuration settings to visualize the comparison and ratio for vulnerability findings with severity 5 and 2:
