Dashboard
Dashboard provides the fastest way to monitor the overall health of applications you manage. It is displayed by default when you log in to Lifecycle and is also accessible from the Dashboard icon 
on the left navigation bar.
Dashboard is available for IQ Server installations with Lifecycle or Auditor license. To view the Dashboard, users should be assigned a Developer role for atleast one application.
The Dashboard is organized into two areas: Filters and Results.
Filters
NEW IN RELEASE 112
The filters menu is accessible from the "Filter" button on the upper right side of the Dashboard as seen in screenshot above.
You can create a customized filter to fine tune the results displayed in Dashboard to analyze them better. Here are the filter options available:
| Filter property | Desription |
|---|---|
| Organizaitons | Select the organizations for which you want to monitor violations |
| Applications | Select the specific applications you want to monitor |
| Applicaton Category | Select the application category to view the applications for which violations have occured |
| Stages | Selct the specific devOps stage(s) in your development cycle at which you want to view violations |
| Policy Types | Select the specific policy type(s) to view the applications it applies to |
| Violation State | Select the violation state to view corresponding application violations |
| Age | Select the time window to view the applicatons for which violations occured |
| Policy Threat Level | Move the slider to set the policy threat level. This will display all violations that lie within the selected range. |
Use the Apply button to view the updated results of the filter.
To save an applied filter selection, click the Save button. Saved filters can be reused from the dropdown at the top of the sidebar.
Results
Dashboard Results display information based on applied filters. The results differ depending on the view that is currently selected.
Export the data displayed in the current results view by selecting Export Violations Data.
Results are saved on your local computer as a .csv file. The first row of the .csv file contains column names.
Violations View
The Violations view is the default view for the Dashboard. It displays the top 100 policy violations found in the last 30 days for your applications.
Clicking a violation in the Violations view opens the Violation Details page. The Violation Details page presents information on the violated policy, as well as the different stages the violation has been identified in. For security violations, a detailed explanation of the vulnerability is also provided. The Manage Waivers button allows viewing, adding, and deleting waivers for selected violations. See Add, View, and Remove Waivers for more info.
Exporting Violations Data
For the violations tab the columns exported into the file are:
| Column Name | Column Value |
|---|---|
| Threat Level | The threat level associated with the policy violation, on a scale of 0 to 10 |
| Policy Name | The name of the policy that triggered the violation |
| Organization Name | Name of the organization which owns the violated policy, or is the parent of the application in which the policy was violated |
| Application Name | Name of the application in which the policy violation was triggered |
| Component Name | Name of the component in which the policy violation was triggered |
| Date First Seen | Date in which this policy violation was first triggered for the particular component. This date is represented in ISO 8601 format |
| Timestamp First Seen | Timestamp of the date in which the policy was first triggered for the particular component. This timestamp is represented in standard unix time format |
| NEW IN RELEASE 103 Reference | For security violations, the CVE or Sonatype code assigned to the vulnerability that caused the policy violation |
NEW IN RELEASE 103 Policy Violation Id | The policy violation Id that triggered the violation, useful for automation with related APIs |
Components View
The Components view displays the 100 highest risk components based on any filters that have been set and the user's level of access. Risk is represented in ranges of Critical, Severe, Moderate, and Low. Total risk for each component is calculated by adding the threat level of all policies violated by the component within each range.
Clicking a component in the Components view opens the Component Risk Overview page. This page presents known coordinates for the component and all violations that have been found, organized by application. Risk information for each component is also provided:
Exporting Components Data
For the components tab, all Risk columns are calculated by taking the associated Threat Level of the policy violation and multiplying it by the number of affected applications.
The columns exported into the file are:
| Column Name | Column Value |
|---|---|
| Component Name | The component that has active policy violations |
| Affected Apps | The number of applications that have this component as a dependency |
| Total Risk | Sum of the risk associated with the following columns |
| Critical | Risk associated to the critical policy violations for the component. |
| Severe | Risk associated to the severe policy violations for the component. |
| Moderate | Risk associated to moderate policy violations for the component. |
| Low | Risk associated to the low policy violations for the component. |
Applications View
The Applications view displays the 100 highest risk applications, also based on any filters that have been set and the user's level of access. As with components, risk is split up into several ranges. Total risk is calculated by adding the threat levels of all policy violations in each range. Risk is broken down by stage and also summarized into cross-stage totals.
From this view, you can also access the latest reports for each stage that have been evaluated for the application.
Exporting Applications Data
For the applications tab, all Risk columns are calculated by taking the sum of the associated Threat Level of the policy violations of all affected components in the application.
The columns exported into the file are:
| Column Name | Column Value |
|---|---|
| Organization Name | The organization that owns the application |
| Application Name | The application name |
| Total Risk | Sum of the risk associated with the following columns |
| Critical | Risk associated to the critical policy violations for the application. |
| Severe | Risk associated to the severe policy violations for the application. |
| Moderate | Risk associated to the moderate policy violations for the application. |
| Low | Risk associated to the low policy violations for the application. |
Policy Violation Trends
The Policy Violation Trends feature has been superseded by Success Metrics and was removed from IQ Server in version 1.40.
Prior to IQ Server 1.40, Export Violations Data was contained within a View menu alongside Calculate Trends. Selecting Calculate Trends from the View menu opens the Policy Violation Trends dialog. This shows policy violations trends for your current filter. Policy Violation Trends display a twelve-week look at how risk is entering your applications and how you are handling that risk, and also shows progress for all time. Calculating trends can take some time depending on the number and size of matching evaluations.
