Workbench Visualizations

Workbench Visualizations is an analysis and visualization component that enables the user to create real-time and historic visualizations of Workbench ingested data; the Workbench Visualizations are then used to build Workbench Dashboards to present the data to the user.

To view and use Workbench Visualizations, click Visualize on the Workbench top navigation bar; post installation Visualize contains 40+ shipped examples to view and utilise.

Health-Map's

Health-Map's provide a quick and easy status view of:

  • Genesys Engage Applications
  • Genesys Engage Hosts
  • Genesys Engage Solutions
Important
  • Workbench 9.0 to 9.2, Health-Maps can only be created for Genesys Engage Hosts, Applications and Solutions; Workbench Health-Maps cannot be created
  • Workbench 9.3 does NOT currently support Health-Maps

Please review the below for an example of:

  • Creating a new Health-Map for Genesys Engage Chat Applications
  • Creating a new Dashboard
  • Adding the newly created Health-Map to the new Dashboard
  • Saving the Dashboard
  1. Navigate to Visualize from the top Workbench navigation bar
  2. Click the + button
  3. Select Genesys Health-Maps
  4. Ensure Genesys Engage Applications is selected for the Health-Map Type
  5. Check the relevant Genesys Engage Chat Applications you want displayed in the Health-Map
    1. review example below
  6. Click the Apply Changes button
  7. Click Save
  8. Provide a Visualization name i.e. lab_apps_HM
  9. Click Confirm Save
  10. Click Dashboards
  11. Click Create new dashboard
    1. Presented with "This dashboard is empty. Let's fill it up!" message
  12. Click Add to add a Visualization to this Dashboard
  13. Find and click the HM_Chat_Applications Visualization
  14. Click the X to close the Add Panels dialog
  15. The HM_Chat_Applications Visualization has now been added to the Dashboard
  16. Click Save
  17. Provide a lab_apps_db and click Confirm Save

The example Lab Application Health-Map Dashboard is displayed.

Clicking on a Health-Map object will provide additional status context; click X or press ESC to close the pop-up

Considerations

Important
  • From WB 9.3+ the Dashboards/Visualizations do NOT update by default in real-time
  • Use the 'Quick Select' feature below to 'Start' auto Refresh functionality of Dashboards/Visualizations

WB9.3 Dash Viz Refresh.png

Important
  • For Workbench 9.2 to 9.3 upgrades, existing Dashboards/Visualizations will be migrated with a "_9.2" suffix
  • The migrated "_9.2" Dashboards/Visualizations will not be functional given the changes from Kibana 7.1 to 7.17
  • As such, when opening the migrated "_9.2" Dashboards/Visualizations, a Warning icon/message will be displayed
  • Even though the migrated "_9.2" Dashboards/Visualizations are not functional and display a Warning, the logic for migrating is to provide context for previously created Dashboards/Visualizations
Important
  • Workbench Dashboards and Visualizations leverage the Elastic Kibana component, please review the Kibana documentation (https://www.elastic.co/kibana) for further comprehensive guidance on Dashboards and Visualizations.
