Chapter 12. Red Hat JBoss Dashboard Builder
Red Hat JBoss Dashboard Builder is a web-based dashboard application that provides Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) support, that is, visualization tools for monitored metrics (Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs) in real time. It comes integrated in the Business Central environment under the menu.
It comes with a dashboard that requests information from the BPMS Execution Engine and provides real-time information on its runtime data; however, you can create also custom dashboards over other data resources, which leaves the application relatively standalone.
What is Business Activity Monitoring?
Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) software helps to monitor business activities that take place on a computer system in real time. The software monitors particular metrics, such as, the status of running processes, the number of invoices to be processed, processing times, etc. It provides tools for visualization of the collected data in graphs, tables, etc.
12.1. Accessing Dashboard Builder
Dashboard Builder is accessible in both business-central and as a standalone applications.
Within business-central, the Dashboard Builder is accessed directly from the menu, and it integrates the jBPM Dashboard workspace that is accessible using > menus.
