The System Dashboard provides an overview of system activity, user distribution, user login failures, license information, and storage usage.
The time interval selector allows you to adjust the reporting period for most of the widgets, except License Status, Number of Users, Database Storage Monitoring and the File Storage Status widgets (these show the actual information).
Data for the Upload and Download Volumes and Upload and Download Quantity widgets is collected only from version MetaDefender® MFT 3.9.2, for the Top 5 File Types and Extensions widgets from version 3.11.1 onward. If your system was upgraded from an earlier version, no historical data prior to the upgrade will be available in these widgets.
