The Dashboard is likely the first page you'll see when you open DefectDojo. It summarizes your team’s performance, and provides tracking tools to monitor specific areas of your vulnerability tracking environment.
The dashboard has two components:
Customizable Dashboard Tiles, which you can use to visualize the metrics which are relevant to you.
Pre-built Dashboard Charts, which visualize your team’s overall performance.
Each team member shares a single dashboard, but the results of the dashboard are restricted by their role and Product Membership. Team members will only see calculated stats for the Products, Engagements, Findings or other objects that they have access to. For more information, see our guides on User Permissions and Roles.
Dashboard Tiles
Tiles are designed to provide relevant information and speed up navigation within DefectDojo.
Tiles can:
Act as shortcuts for particular sets of Findings, Products, or other objects
Visualize metrics related to your Product
Provide alerts on particular activity, track SLA Violations, failing imports or new Critical Findings
Tiles are pinned to the top section of your 🏠 Home page.
For more information about creating and editing Dashboard Tiles, see our guides on this topic:
Dashboard Charts
Located beneath Dashboard Tiles, DefectDojo has five pre-built charts:
Historical Finding Severity pie-chart
Reported Finding Severity histogram, by month
Unassigned Answered Engagement Questionnaires table
Top 10 Graded Products table
Bottom 10 Graded Products table
These charts can be added or removed from the dashboard via Dashboard Configuration.
Historical Finding Severity
This chart organizes all Findings created in DefectDojo by Severity, so that you can see the overall distribution of vulnerability levels in your environment.
Reported Finding Severity
This chart allows you to monitor the volume and severity distribution of incoming Findings per month.
Unassigned Answered Engagement Questionnaires
If you have completed Engagement Questionnaires for review, those will be listed in this table.
Top 10 / Bottom 10 Graded Products
This section summarizes the Graded performance of each Product in your instance, counting the Highest and Lowest scoring Products.
Finding Counts of each severity are calculated by the tile, but note that Product Grade is only assigned based on Active Findings, so there may be Inactive Findings counted in this table which do not contribute to the Grade.
To understand how grades are calculated, see our guide to Product Health Grading.
