Now that you have set up some sample Elements, in the coming modules, you can perform some common Uptime Infrastructure Monitor tasks using these Elements. However, before continuing, let's have a quick tour of the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor UI from an administrator's perspective.

Uptime Infrastructure Monitor comes with a host of core dashboards. The following dashboard examples include the modest number of Elements you added to your monitored infrastructure in the previous module.

Network Dashboard

This Network dashboard summarizes the performance of monitored network devices. As you can see, we have but the single network device we added in the previous module: 

Resource Scan

This Resource Scan dashboard shows resource usage, useful in ensuring available capacity, for physical and virtual server-type Elements. Note the VMware vCenter Server Element you added in the previous module, along with its managed inventory of ESX hosts and virtual machines. 

Global Scan

Your Elements are organized by groups, allowing you to click through down to individual Elements. This dashboard, along with Resource Scan, are good examples of how Element Groups and Views can help organize your monitored inventory for end-users.
