1.2 Default Dashboard

What

The Grafana-based FileWave Dashboard opens to the default FileWave System view shown below. If you have not opened it yet, follow Access the FileWave Dashboard for administrator permissions and the entry point. This is separate from the FileWave Central Dashboard.

When/Why

The default dashboard, FileWave System, gives you a quick health view of core FileWave services and configuration items. Read the status text as well as the color: this example includes green widgets labeled not configured, so green does not mean that every integration is configured. Investigate red widgets in the corresponding service settings.

How

The red dep widget illustrates an Automated Device Enrollment (ADE, formerly DEP) warning. Its color alone does not identify the cause. Check the ADE configuration and service status first. If the warning identifies a missing macOS enrollment package, prepare the package using the workflow for your FileWave Server version:

• 16.4.0 and later: Use the integrated builder in FileWave Central. Open Preferences > Enrollment > macOS in 16.4.1 and later, or Preferences > Mobile > macOS in 16.4.0. Build the package and wait for Ready for Enrollment. Central stores it for enrollment; no separate download-and-upload step is required.
• Earlier than 16.4.0: Use the external custom Client builder, then upload the macOS package under Preferences > Mobile > macOS and wait for upload confirmation.

Follow Build Custom FileWave Client and Booster Installers for the full procedure. Keep Install for initial enrollment only enabled for the normal enrollment workflow; preparing an enrollment package is not the normal way to upgrade existing Clients. See Working with Apple’s Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) for the surrounding setup.

After correcting the reported issue, recheck the service status and dashboard. A green tile alone does not prove that a Mac has enrolled or that its native FileWave Client has checked in.
