Administrators Portal

The Admin portal provides access to ISE configuration and reporting. The following figure shows the main elements of the menu bar of portal.

ISE Home Dashboards

The Cisco ISE Dashboard displays live consolidated and correlated statistical data that is is essential for effective monitoring and troubleshooting. Dashboard elements show activity over 24 hours, unless otherwise noted. The following figure shows some of the information available on the Cisco ISE Dashboard. You can view the Cisco ISE Dashboard data only in the Primary Administration Node (PAN).

The Home page has five default dashboards that show a view of your Cisco ISE data:

• Summary: This view has a linear Metrics dashlet, pie chart dashlets, and list dashlets. The Metrics dashlet is not configurable.

• Endpoints: Status, Endpoints, Endpoint Categories, Network Devices.

• Guests: Guest user type, logon failures and location.

• Vulnerability:Information reported to Cisco ISE by vulnerability servers.

• Threat: Information reported to Cisco ISE by threat servers.

Each of these dashboards has several pre-defined dashlets. For example, the Summary dashboard has the dashlets Status, Endpoints, Endpoint Categories, and Network Devices.

Configuring Home Dashboards

You can customize a Home page dashboard by clicking the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page:

• Export saves the currently selected home view to a PDF.

• Layout Template configures the number of columns displayed in this view.

• Manage Dashboards allows you to make the current dashboard the default (that opens when you select Home), or reset all dashboards (remove your configurations on all the Home dashboards).

Context Visibility Views

The structure of a Context Visibility page is similar to the Home page, except that Context Visibility pages:

• Retain your current context (browser window) when you filter the displayed data

• Are more customizable

• Focus on endpoint data

You can view the context visibility data only from the Primary Administration Node (PAN).

Dashlets on Context pages show information about endpoints, and endpoint connections to NADs. The information currently displayed is based on the content in the list of data below the dashlets on each page. Each page shows a view of endpoint data, based on the name of the tab. As you filter the data, both the list and dashlets update. You can filter the data by clicking on parts of one or more of the circular graphs, by filtering rows on the table, or any combination those actions. As you select filters, the effects are additive, also referred to as cascading filter, which allows you to drill down to find the particular data you are looking for. You can also click an endpoint in the list, and get a detailed view of that endpoint.

There are four main views under Context Visibility:

• Endpoints—You can select which endpoints to display based on types of devices, compliance status, authentication type, hardware inventory, and more. Refer to the The Hardware Dashboard section for additional information.

  Note

  We recommend that you enable the accounting settings on the NADs to ensure that the accounting start and update information is sent to Cisco ISE. Cisco ISE can collect accounting information, such as the latest IP address, status of the session (Connected, Disconnected, or Rejected), inactivity days of an endpoint, only if accounting is enabled. This information is displayed in the Live Logs/Live Sessions and the Context Visibility pages. When accounting is disabled on a NAD, there might be a missing, incorrect, or mismatch in the accounting information between the Live Sessions/ Live Logs and Context Visibility pages.

  Note

  The Visibility Setup wizard allows you to add a list of IP address range for endpoints discovery. After this wizard is configured, Cisco ISE authenticates the endpoints, but the endpoints that are not included in the configured IP address range are not displayed in the Context Visibility > Endpoints tab and the Endpoints listing page (under Work Centers > Network Access > Identities > Endpoints).

• User-Based—Displays user information from user identity sources.

  Note the following points while using this view:

  1. If there is any change in the username or password attribute, it will be reflected immediately on this page when there is a change in the authentication status.

  2. If any other attribute other than the username is changed in the Active Directory, the updated attributes are displayed only after 24 hours upon re-authentication.

  3. If the username and other attributes are changed in the Active Directory, the updated changes will be displayed immediately after re-authentication.

• Network Devices—List of NADs that have endpoints connected to them. You can click the Number of Endpoints on a NAD (right-most column) to get a Context Visibility screen listing all those devices filtered by that NAD.

  Note

  If you have configured your network device with SNMPv3 parameters, you cannot generate the Network Device Session Status Summary report that is provided by the Monitoring service (Operations > Reports > Catalog > Network Device > Session Status Summary). You can generate this report successfully if your network device is configured with SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c parameters.

• Application—The Application view is used to identify the number of endpoints that have a specified application installed. The results are displayed in graphical and table formats. The graphical representation helps you make a comparative analysis. For example, you can find out the number of endpoints with the Google Chrome software along with their Version, Vendor, and Category (Anti-phishing, Browser, and so on) in a table as well as a bar chart. For more information, see The Application Tab section.

You can create a new view under Context Visibility to create a custom list, for additional filtering. Dashlets are not supported in custom views for this release.

Clicking a section of a circular graph in a dashlet opens a new page with filtered data from that dashlet in Context Visibility mode. From that new page, you can continue to filter the displayed data, as described in Filtering Displayed Data in a View.

For more information about using Context Visibility to find endpoint data, see the following Cisco YouTube video, which uses ISE manicapital.com?v=HvonGhrydfg.

Attributes in Context Visibility

The systems and services that provide attributes for Context Visibility sometimes have different values for the same attribute name. A few examples are shown below:

For Operating System

• —Posture operating system

• —NMAP operating system

• —Profiler consolidated operating system

Note	There might be some discrepancies in the endpoint operating system data displayed in the Context Visibility page when multiple probes are enabled for the endpoint in Cisco ISE.

For Portal Name

• —Guest portal name when device registration is turned on

• —Guest portal name when device registration is not turned on

Portal User

• —User name from RADIUS authentication

• —Guest user

• —Portal user

The Application Dashboard

Label	Description
1	The Summary tab is selected by default. It displays the Application Categories dashlet, which contains a bar chart. Applications are classified into 13 categories. Applications that do not fall into any of these categories are termed Unclassified. The available categories are Anti-Malware, Antiphishing, Backup, Browser, Data Loss Prevention, Data Storage, Encryption, Firewall, Messenger, Patch Management, Public File Sharing, Virtual Machine, and VPN Client.
2	Each bar corresponds to a classified category. You can hover over each bar to view the total number of applications and endpoints that correspond to the selected application category.
3	The applications and endpoints that fall under the Classified category are displayed in Blue. Unclassified applications and endpoints are displayed in Gray. You can hover over the classified or unclassified category bar to view the total number of applications and endpoints that belong to that category. You can click Classified and view the results in the bar chart and table (5). When you click Unclassified, the bar chart is disabled (grayed out) and the results are displayed in the table (5).
4	The applications and endpoints are displayed based on the selected filter. You can view the breadcrumb trail as you click different filters. You can click Deselect All to remove all filters.
5	When you click multiple bars, the corresponding classified applications and endpoints are displayed in the table. For example, if you select the Antimalware and Patch Management categories, the following results are displayed.
