Configuring Standard Widget Settings
- In the Name field, enter a name to display at the top of the widget.
Note: If the widget name exceeds more than 64 an ellipses displays. Widget names also cannot include the operators and comparison functions available in LogicMonitor’s datapoint expression syntax and names cannot contain commas (,), semicolons (;), or asterisks (*). For more information, see Complex Datapoints. Use tokens as widget names to make cloning dashboards and updating widget information for the cloned dashboards easier. For more information, see Dashboard Tokens and Tokens in Widget.
- (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description for the widget to reference later in the Edit Widget form.
- (Optional) In the Refresh Frequency dropdown, select an interval for the widget data to update on.
