Dell KACE K1000 Systems Management Appliance, Version 6.0, Release Notes 3
Dashboards
New Dashboards provide central access to important information through customizable and resizable
widgets. If the Organization component is enabled, Dashboards are available at the organization and
appliance level.
About data presented in widgets
Most Dashboard widgets display cached data, and the database queries that refresh data run on schedules
that are appropriate for the data sources. For most widgets, queries are performed every five minutes or
every hour. However, some queries have the potential to run for several minutes, and these queries run less
frequently to reduce the processing impact on the appliance. As a result, the following widgets display data
that can be up to eight hours old:
• License Compliance
• Disk Capacity
• Patch Installation Progress
• Patching Tasks Completed
• Critical Patch Compliance
Device Discovery
The IP Scan component has been replaced by Discovery. Discovery is the process of identifying devices that
are connected to the network and retrieving information about those devices. Devices that can be discovered
include laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, virtual devices, printers, network devices, wireless access
points, routers, switches, and more. To discover devices on your network, create a Discovery Schedule. The
Discovery Schedule specifies the protocols to use during the scan, the IP Address range to be scanned, and
the frequency of the scan. You can scan for devices across a single subnet or multiple subnets.
