Viewing Channels in the Dashboard

Tooltip Information

The dashboard has a lot of useful tooltip information, just hover over key icons and links. You can even customize the content of some tooltips from your Lua code, a really cool feature.

Overview of the some of the best tooltips

The Status Icon gives a tooltip showing channel status. This is very convenient when a channel is in a yellow or red state.

The source, filter and destination components all have their own configuration tooltips. Very useful for viewing the port an LLP component is listening on, or milestone info for a component using a script.

The Last Activity tooltip summarizes activity for the channel.
