It includes information on all the KPIs and tabs that other networking devices have, plus additional KPIs and tabs that are unique to Cisco ASA 55xx (ASA v.8.0 or higher), SonicWall TZ series, and SonicWall NSA series (SonicOS 5.8 or higher) firewalls. Any element of the dashboard can be clicked to access more detailed information.
