Description

Home

System Summary

Shows the status of managed devices, statuses of assets and connections, and license information. You can also view trends in the number of devices and assets in your system.

Background Task

Shows the status of tasks such as asset information imporatation, operation log manual retrieval, agent distribution, and device discovery. If an error is reported, view the error details and take action accordingly.

Not Ack Event Summary

Shows how many events that occurred within a specific time period have not been acknowledged. We recommend that you use this panel as the starting point for viewing and resolving critical events.

Topic

Shows the notifications that were issued within a specified time period. This panel lets you know when a contract has expired, when there are no more licenses available for a product, and other important information.

DB and Disk Usage

Shows when the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 database was last backed up and reorganized, and the amounts of used and available disk space.

Security

Category Security Assessment

Shows the overall security status of managed computers on a scale from A to E, and a chart showing security performance in individual categories. This panel also shows how the security status compares to the previous day. This allows you to monitor the effectiveness of security measures and make adjustments where necessary.

No. of Devices by Violation Level

Shows the total number of managed devices, the number of devices at each violation level, and a graphical representation of violation levels across the system. Use this panel to quickly identify devices with a high violation level and take the appropriate action.

Suspicious Operations

Shows the number of suspicious operations (related to data disclosure) detected by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2. You can access the operation log for the suspicious action by clicking a link. We recommend that you use this feature to find out whether any data might have been leaked.

Security Status by Policy

This panel shows the overall security status of the system, and the security status in terms of individual security policies. If a security policy has a low rating, identify the computers that violate the policy and take remedial action.

Assets

Hardware Assets Trend

This panel shows trends in the number of hardware assets in each category. For example, you might notice an increase in hardware assets in In Stock status and decide to start disposing of older hardware.

Customized HW Assets (Group/Filter)

This panel shows the number of hardware assets for each custom group and filter condition. For example, by defining a custom group or filter that displays hardware assets with an early purchase date, you can quickly identify hardware assets that might need replacing.

Expired Contracts (next 3 months)

For each contract type, this panel shows the number of expired contracts and the number of contracts that are expiring soon. By clicking the links in this panel, you can identify contracts that are about to expire and plan a course of action.

Software (License Violation)

This panel allows you to instantly see the pieces of managed software for which you have too few licenses, and those for which you have a surplus. If this panel shows that you have more instances of a product installed than you have licenses for the product, you can take action such as directing users to uninstall the software or purchasing additional licenses.

Inventory

Managed Nodes Trend

This panel shows trends in the number of devices in each agent installation status. For security reasons, we recommend that you install the agent program on computers managed by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2. Use this panel to identify computers that do not have the agent program installed, and install the program as needed.

Customized Device Inventory (Group/Filter)

This panel shows the number of managed devices for each custom group and filter condition. For example, by defining a custom group or filter that displays devices that have not been used for a certain period of time, you can quickly identify hardware assets that can be declared idle.

No. of Devices by OS

This panel shows the proportion of each OS on managed computers, and how many instances of each OS are in your system.

New Software

This panel lists new software information collected from managed computers. Check this list regularly. If you discover non-business related software in the list, you can register it as prohibited software. You can also use this information when deciding whether to manage license information for a particular piece of software.

Distribution (ITDM-compatible)

Task Status

This panel shows the status of tasks executed by administrators, and those executed as part of the automatic enforcement of a security policy. We recommend that you view the Error Task Status panel if you only want to see tasks where errors have occurred.

Error Task Status

This panel shows the status of tasks where errors have occurred. Identify the cause of the error, take the appropriate action, and then re-execute the task. To view the status of tasks in general, we recommend that you use the Task Status panel.
