VELOS dashboard overview
The
VELOS
system dashboards display
relevant system information when you log in to the system controller or chassis
partition webUI. For example, this figure shows how the default chassis partition is set
up initially. F5OS webUIs fully support the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox browsers
at the time of each F5OS release.
System controller dashboard (initial view)
Both of the dashboards are divided into sections that show:
- Chassis partition details
- System controller information
- High availability status
- CPU data
- Active alarms
- Tenant information
System controller dashboard
The system controller dashboard shows information about which slots have
blades in them, how the chassis is divided into chassis partitions, system summary
information, system controller high availability status, CPU data, and active alarms. It
displays when you log in to the system controller webUI or click
DASHBOARD
from any other area in the
system controller webUI. If a message of the day (MOTD) has been configured, it will
display immediately upon login.System controller dashboard
This system has a blade in slot 1. The default chassis partition is running
on that slot. Slots 2 through 8 are empty.
The
Chassis Partition Overview
section shows a
graphical view of the chassis. Chassis partition details on the system controller
dashboard show an overview of all the chassis partitions. The chassis partition
dashboard shows details about the chassis partition to which you are logged in.The slots associated with the default chassis partition are shown in green.
The table on the right displays chassis partitions details. Click the IP address of an
active chassis partition to log in directly to the chassis partition.
The system controller dashboard also includes these sections:
- System Summary tab
- Shows system memory and storage data, and High Availability status. High Availability status shows which system controller is currently active and whether the two controllers are both healthy. If both are healthy, the two system controllers handle traffic and are redundant, and the system is functioning normally.
- CPU tab
- Shows information about CPU thread counts. Hovering over a bar in the graph displays utilization data for that thread. Use the dropdown menu to filter the display.
- Active Alarms tab
- Shows system alerts that have occurred recently. The system updates the alarms every few seconds. It shows the source of the alert, its severity, a brief description of what occurred, and when it happened. If there is an active alarm, theActive Alarmstab will be in focus.
Chassis partition dashboard
The chassis partition dashboard shows which chassis partition you are logged in to, which slots are associated with that chassis partition, active alarms for that chassis partition, and the tenants that are deployed in that chassis partition. It provides a quick overview of the chassis partition and displays when you log in to the chassis partition webUI or click
DASHBOARD
from any other area in the chassis partition webUI.The System Summary section of the chassis partition dashboard shows a graphical view of the chassis and shows information only about the chassis partition to which you are logged in. In this example, you are logged in to the default chassis partition.

If both are healthy, the two system controllers handle traffic and are redundant, and the system is functioning normally.
- Network tab
- Shows network interfaces (ports) speed and status for installed blades.
- CPU tab
- Shows information about CPU thread counts. Hovering over a bar in the graph displays utilization data for that thread. Use the dropdown menu to filter the display.
- Active Alarms tab
- Shows system alerts that have occurred recently. The system updates the alarms every few seconds. It shows the source of the alert, its severity, a brief description of what occurred, and when it happened. If there is an active alarm, theActive Alarmstab will be in focus.
