Quick Start Guide to the Zenconsole Dashboard
After completing your first deployment, Zenconsole becomes the central workspace for monitoring your organization's security environment and managing your deployments.
The Home page is designed to provide immediate visibility into both your overall organization and individual gateway activity through two complementary dashboard views:
- Organization Dashboard, which provides an organization-wide overview of your deployments and security posture.
- Gateway Dashboard, which focuses on the operational status and security activity of a single gateway.
Understanding these dashboards will help you quickly assess the health of your environment, identify security events, and navigate to the areas that require your attention.
Organization Dashboard
The Organization Dashboard provides a centralized overview of your entire Zenarmor deployment. It is the primary dashboard for monitoring security activity across all gateways and endpoints connected to your organization.
The dashboard is organized into several sections that help you quickly understand the current state of your environment.
Figure 1. Organization Dashboard
At the top of the dashboard, the Global Threats Overview map provides a geographical visualization of detected security events across your deployments. This allows you to quickly identify where threats are originating and understand the overall distribution of security activity.
Beneath the map, summary widgets highlight the most frequently detected threats, devices, and users for the selected reporting period, giving you an immediate overview of your organization's security posture.
The controls located in the upper-right corner of the dashboard allow you to customize the displayed information using filters such as filter, time range, and Top N results. These options help you focus on the data most relevant to your current investigation or reporting needs.
The Organization Dashboard is intended as the starting point for monitoring your environment. When additional investigation is required, you can continue to the dedicated reporting, deployment, policy, and session management sections for more detailed analysis.
Gateway Dashboards
While the Organization Dashboard provides a high-level organizational view, the Gateway Dashboards focus on a single gateway deployment and provide detailed operational information about an individual gateway.
This dashboard is particularly useful when verifying gateway health, monitoring live activity, or troubleshooting deployment-specific issues.

The upper section of the dashboard summarizes recent security events together with real-time traffic statistics. Charts displaying throughput, detected threats, top applications, and active hosts provide immediate insight into the traffic currently being processed by the gateway.
These visualizations help administrators quickly understand both network activity and the effectiveness of the deployed security policies.
The lower section focuses on the gateway's operational status. Here you can monitor core services such as the Zenarmor Engine, Cloud Agent, Reporting Database, and Zero Trust Networks, ensuring that the deployment is operating correctly and remains connected to Zenconsole.
Because this dashboard is dedicated to a single gateway, it is the preferred place to investigate deployment-specific issues, validate service status, and confirm that newly deployed gateways are operating as expected.
