After Lucidum has ingested data, you can view dashboards and charts in the Dashboards page. These dashboards and Charts provide insights into your environment.
This chapter provides an overview of the Dashboards page, charts, and dashboards to help you navigate the user interface.
Home Page #
When you log in to Lucidum, the Home page displays the Lucidum CAASM Summary dashboard. After you configure connectors and after Lucidum ingests data from those connectors, the dashboard is populated with the ingested data and enriched data from Lucidum.

-
In the Channel pane, click the channel where the dashboard lives.
-
In the right pane, find the dashboard you want to set as default
-
Click on its Pin (push-pin) icon.

Viewing Dashboards #
A dashboard is a page that displays one or more graphical charts. Each chart appears in its own pane and displays graphs, tables, and text. Each dashboard provides at-a-glance visibility into the assets, users, and data in your environment and the policies or compliance that matters most to you.
The Dashboards page organizes dashboards by Channels. Channels are groups that allow:
-
Each user to manage personal dashboards
-
Teams to share dashboards
-
Lucidum to publish dashboards for all users.
VODs are organized in the Lucidum Channels. For example, under Lucidum Channels, you should see channels for:
-
Cloud
-
Endpoint Security
-
Identity
-
Inventory
-
Security & IT Ops
-
Threat Intelligence
Users, even administrators, cannot add or remove dashboards from the Lucidum Channel.
NOTE: Before you can display data in dashboards and charts, you must configure Lucidum to ingest data from your environment and then trigger data ingestion.
-
Log in to your Lucidum system.
-
In the left menu, click Dashboards.
-
You can search for a dashboard in the Search Dashboards field or click the channel where the dashboard lives (for example, Lucidum Channels > Endpoint Security)
-
In the list of dashboards in the right pane, click on the name of dashboard you want to view.
-
Lucidum loads the selected dashboard.
-
To view another dashboard, repeat these steps.
