Geneos - How can I show the overall state of my Managed Entities as a Dashboard Object?

Step 1 - Compute Engine

Using the compute engine functionality, create a new headline on a sampler of your choice.

Using the GSE select a sampler of your choice. Click on the Advanced tab and fill out the  Dataviews section.

NOTE: The name of should be the SAME as the sampler.

Add a Headline and give that a name.

Now you should then see an empty headline cell at the top of the samplers Metrics view in the Active Console, similar to that shown below.

Step 2 - Rule Base

The next steps are to create a rule to fill this new cell with data.

• Right-click on the newly created headline & copy its path
• Paste the path onto the rule target
• Advance tab > create a path alias
• Using the Path Editor find the severity of all the Managed Entities 
• Add the following rule: severity maximum (wpath"<path alias name>" severity)

Step 3 - Creating the dashboard object

Finally, using the drag & drop process (on the created headline) drag it to the Active Dashboard Manager in order to achieve the goal of representing the overall state of the system visually. This can be seen in the below screenshot:
