Path History dashlet

To add a Path History dashlet to a custom dashboard

To configure or export the table in the dashlet

The Path History dashlet shows you a table of the changes on a path over time. This dashlet is only applicable to agentless (SNMP) paths. It is not applicable to agent-based (tcptraceroute) paths because there are many potential paths discovered in each batch, and therefore there is no data for depth, hop count etc.

Please see this section for further help and information on SurePath.

1. When adding a dashlet to a new custom dashboard or editing an existing custom dashboard, follow the instructions for adding a dashlet, select Path History in the Select Dashlet Type, and click Next.
