Dashboard Best Practices¶

Use Case	Recommended Widget	Data Source
Device status	Status grid	/device
Performance trends	Line chart	/statistics/*
Current metrics	Gauge	/realtime/*
Top-N analysis	Bar chart	/statistics/aggregation
Geographic view	Map	/device with location
Event list	Table	/alarms, /events
Composition	Pie chart	/statistics/dpi

Refresh Rate Guidelines¶

Dashboard Type	Refresh Rate	Rationale
NOC Operations	30 seconds	Real-time awareness
Engineering	60 seconds	Detailed analysis
Executive	5 minutes	Summary view
Security	30 seconds	Quick detection
