Security Operations Dashboard
PCE Operations (On-Prem Only) Dashboard
PCE Authentication Events Dashboard
Workload Operations Dashboard
Workload Investigation Dashboard
Traffic Explorer Dashboard
Alert Configuration Page
Change Monitoring Dashboard

Security Operations Dashboard
The Security Operations dashboard provides an overview that allows Splunk administrators to monitor the overall security state of the network, as determined from traffic flows reported by PCE instances. Top Blocked, Potentially Blocked, and Allowed traffic is displayed by host and by service. To see Allowed traffic, choose it in the drop-down list under Top Workloads With or Top Services With. In most panels, you can filter flows using Illumio labels. You can also drill down to investigate notable events, such as Port Scans and Firewall Tampering.

The Security Operations dashboard is built using data from the following sources:
Traffic flow summaries
REST API calls made to the PCE
Events
Investigate Workload from Illumio Splunk App
When you are viewing a list of workloads, such as through the Port Scan or Firewall Tampering screens, you can click Investigate to view the Workload Investigation dashboard for the selected workload. See Workload Investigation Dashboard.

Depending on the results of the investigation, you might want to quarantine the workload. To quarantine a workload, click on the Security Operations dashboard and drill down on the panels.
PCE Operations Dashboard
Note
The PCE Operations dashboard is only available for on-premises deployments.
The PCE Operations dashboard enables Splunk administrators to monitor the health of multiple on-premises PCE instances from one Splunk server. This includes the overall PCE cluster status, service status summary, per-node service status, CPU, Memory and Disk utilization metrics. If multiple PCE instances are connected to Splunk, you can use the drop-down list at the top of the dashboard to choose which PCE to monitor.
The PCE Operations dashboard is built using data from the following source:
REST API calls made to the PCE (PCE 17.2 and later)

Workload Investigation Dashboard
The Workload Investigation dashboard enables you to search for detailed information about one or more workloads. If multiple PCE instances are connected to Splunk, you can use the drop-down list to choose which PCE to monitor. You can use the Time Range drop-down list to filter the display. You can use wildcards or IP addresses to select multiple workloads. Instead of using hostnames or IP addresses to select workloads, you can define a workload scope using the App Label, Env Label, and Loc Label drop-down lists.
The Workload Investigation dashboard has two panels:
Workload Details: Hostname, IP, Operating System, Status of policy, PCE
Audit Events: Events recorded for the workloads. You can click an event in the list to drill down for more details about the event.
