Dashboards

 

Your 5 default dashboards organize your KPIs into buckets, so you can easily view all related metrics in one single pane of glass. These dashboards include:


  • DNS Protection Blocked Traffic

    • Shows your Blocked Users Leaderboard, and Blocked Requests by Category, Domain, and Hostname

  • DNS Traffic Last 24 Hours

    • Shows Total Number of Blocked and Risky Requests, Blocked and Risky Requests by Site, and % of Risky and Blocked Requests by Site  

  • Webroot - Endpoints

    • Displays important endpoint information, such as Active Endpoints, Endpoints by Policy, and Endpoints by Group

  • Webroot - Infection Status

    • Helps you be proactive towards infections by displaying Active Threats, Attention Required, and Scan Count

    • Keeps your site information organized by showing Managed By Policy, Remediation Status, Expired Status, Realtime Shield Status, Agent Version Spread, and Global Policies For Sites


Reports

 

When it comes to your client’s endpoints, transparency is crucial. You must let them in on the good and bad of what you’re doing, so they can trust you to keep them protected. Sending consistent client reports is an excellent way to keep them in the loop and build upon that trust.


We help you get started with two report templates, ready for you to send out:


  • Webroot Monthly Status

  • Webroot Weekly Status


Both reports compile key KPIs - such as Attention Required, Active Threats, and Infection Status - into an interactive report that can be automatically sent to your recipients on the recurring date and time that you choose.


BrightGauge helps you stay on track


With these default KPIs, dashboards, and reports, you can remain proactive about your endpoints without any setup requirements on your end. As soon as you’re connected, you’ll have access to these crucial data points that impact your client’s day-to-day.


Of course, all gauges, dashboards, and reports can be filtered and customized to your needs, and you always have the option to build out your own metrics, but if you choose to use just your defaults, you’ll have plenty of critical information at your fingertips.
