10.7.1 Overview of dashboard output

The dashboard output function converts data processed by the stream data processing engine to dashboard-display data and then sends it to the Dashboard Server on Flex Dashboard where stream data summary analysis results can be displayed as bar or broken line graphs. This function also uses Dashboard Viewer to display the dashboard-display data obtained by Dashboard Server.

The figure below provides an overview of dashboard output.

Note that Internet Explorer and Flash Player are required in order to use Dashboard Viewer to display stream data summary analysis results.
