Overview
Today, without a single-pane-of-glass view of collectors, operators often need to navigate site-by-site to understand collector status and details. The Collector Dashboard provides a centralized summary of all collectors across your global or multi-site environment.
Use this dashboard to quickly review collector connection status, approval state, operating system, site association, and IP address along with visibility into collector health and monitoring load from one place.
What is the Collector Dashboard?
The Collector Dashboard is a built-in dashboard available at the global or multi-site level in Auvik. It provides a single-pane-of-glass view of installed collectors, helping users quickly understand where each collector is deployed, whether it is connected, its approval status, and whether it may require attention by providing deeper visibility into collector health and monitoring load across your environment. Each collector install is shown once; shared collectors are identified in the Shared column rather than repeated for every site they may support.
How to access the Collector Dashboard
From the Auvik side navigation:
- Go to Dashboard
- Select Collectors
You can access the dashboard from either the global/MSP level or the relevant multi-site level, depending on your permissions and environment structure.
What information is shown?
The Collector Dashboard displays a table of collectors with the following details:
| Column | Description |
| Description | Collector name or description |
| Org / Site | The organization or site associated with the collector |
| Connection | Whether the collector is Connected or Disconnected |
| Approval | Collector approval state, such as Approved, Pending, or Rejected |
| Shared | Indicates whether the collector is shared across sites |
| OS | Operating System running the collector, such as Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. |
| IP Address | IP address of the collector
|
| Hardware Status | CPU, Memory, and Disk utilization for the machine where each collector is installed indicating the Host resource utilization
|
| Monitoring | The number of Sites, Devices, and Interfaces monitored by each collector, indicating the Monitoring load.
|
The dashboard also shows the total number of collectors in the current view.
Users can also define alerts based on Hardware Status and Monitoring metrics with trigger conditions when certain thresholds are crossed.
Search and filtering
Use the search bar to quickly find collectors. The dashboard supports search modifiers such as:
- description:
- org / site:
- connection:
- approval:
- shared:
- os:
- ip address:
- any:
- not:
Example searches:
- connection: disconnected
- approval: pending
- os: windows 11
- org / site: site-name
- ip address: 172.20.20.13
Sorting
You can sort the collector table by available columns, such as Connection, to quickly group connected and disconnected collectors.
For Hardware Status and Monitoring which contains the composite fields; there is an in-column filter icon that allows bringing a metric into focus and then you can sort/filter by that metric. If you want to reset, select ‘None’ or click ‘Clear Filters’
Common use cases
- View all collectors across a global or multi-site environment
- Identify disconnected collectors
- Find collectors pending approval
- Search for collectors by site, OS, or IP address
- Confirm whether a collector is shared
- Get visibility into collector health status, and monitoring load
- Reduce the need to navigate into each individual site
Why use the Collector Dashboard?
The Collector Dashboard helps reduce operational friction by giving admins and support teams a centralized view of collector status and details. This makes it easier to identify collector issues, confirm deployment details, and troubleshoot faster without moving site-by-site.
Note: In the coming months, the Collector Dashboard will be enhanced with summary insights and ability to act. Currently it is a Read-only view.
