Forescout eyeSight dashboards

The Dashboards view, part of the eyeSight Web Client, is a web-based information center that provides a real-time overview of the network through both out-of-the-box (OOTB) and user-created dashboard widgets.

Dashboards deliver dynamic, at-a-glance information about:

  • Device visibility (OOTB)
  • Device compliance (OOTB)
  • Health monitoring (OOTB)
  • Forescout policy data, including custom policies

Dashboards are designed to:

  • Provide a quick overview of important network activities for corporate executives.
  • Allow security administrators, security operations centers (SOC), and other users to easily monitor their security state.

This information is collected from policies and is periodically updated as endpoints are monitored and controlled by eyeSight and eyeControl. By default, widget information is updated every 60 seconds.

Note: Under certain circumstances, different widgets containing identical policy rules may temporarily display slightly different values for those rules. This is usually resolved when widget information is updated after 60 seconds.

Supported browsers

For a list of eyeSight supported browsers, see the Web Browser page of the Forescout Compatibility Portal.

Note: When using Internet Explorer, you may experience widget display issues when resizing the browser window. It is recommended to use a different supported browser for optimal widget visualization.

Dashboard permissions

eyeSight users who work with dashboard functionality must be assigned the Dashboards: Access permission. Users who only have Dashboards: Access View permissions can view dashboard content and add existing dashboards to their view but cannot do any of the following:

  • Create new dashboards
  • Duplicate existing dashboards
  • Add/edit/delete/reorder widgets

Users who have Dashboards view permissions must also have each OOTB dashboard individually enabled in their User Profiles.

For more information about the Web Client, see Out-of-the-Box Dashboards and Access to Console Tools - On-premises Permissions for details about OOTB dashboard permissions.
