Enterprise dashboard
The Dashboard is the main overview you see after you sign in to the MetaDefender OT Security web console when you are working at enterprise level (your browser tab usually shows Enterprise in the title). The screen summarizes activity for whatever you currently have selected—often the whole deployment, a specific site, or a sensor. Use the scope control in the header (it shows the current selection, such as a sensor name) to switch context; charts and numbers update to match that selection.
Opening the dashboard
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open a web browser and go to the MetaDefender OT Security address your administrator gave you (it is normally an `https://` link to your organization’s server). |
| 2 | Sign in with the account you were provided. |
| 3 | Make sure you are in Monitor mode—the everyday monitoring experience. If you see Management-style options instead, click Go to Monitor in the sidebar to return to monitoring. |
| 4 | In the left sidebar, click Dashboard. It is usually the first item at the top of the menu. |
| 5 | *(Optional)* To change what you are looking at, open the menu in the header that shows the current region, site, or sensor, then pick Enterprise, a site, or a sensor so the dashboard matches what you need to review. |
Header strip
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| CPU / RAM / Disk | How busy the console host is (processor, memory, and disk). |
| Tx / Rx | Approximate send and receive traffic for the scope you selected. |
| Scope / region selector | Lets you switch between enterprise-wide view, sites, or sensors, depending on how your environment is set up. |
| Language | Changes the interface language where supported. |
| Notifications and account | Alerts, profile, and similar controls. The Alerts item in the sidebar may show a count badge when there are open alerts. |
Main widgets (typical layout)
What you see can vary slightly by product version and your role. Typical widgets include:
| Widget | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Protocols (Today) | Industrial and IT protocols observed today, often as a chart over time. |
| Connection Alert Matrix (Today) | How connection alerts line up by severity and asset level for today. |
| Asset Alert Matrix (Today) | How asset alerts line up by severity and level for today. |
| Total Internal Connections | A high-level count of internal connections from recorded history. |
| Total Connections with External | A high-level count of connections involving external systems. |
| Asset Types | How many assets fall into each category (for example PLCs, HMIs, workstations), often with a Total assets figure. |
Related areas
| Area | Purpose |

Notes
- The numbers and charts on your screen depend on your live environment, traffic, and how long data is kept—not on fixed demo values.
- Tasks such as licensing, backups, or other enterprise-only configuration are covered under Settings and the Enterprise Settings documentation, not only on this dashboard page.
