How can I show the overall state of my Managed Entities (monitoring system) represented as a Dashboard Object?

Step 1 - Compute Engine

Using the compute engine functionality, create a new headline on a sampler of your choice. In order to utilise this, head to the following:

Open the GSE > locate a sampler of your choice > Click in Advance tab > Fill out the section called "Dataviews" NOTE: The name of should be the SAME as the sampler > Add a Headline & give it a name

After completing step 1, you should then see an empty headline cell at the top of the samplers dataview, this will look as follows:

Step 2 - Rule Base

After creating the headline using the Compute Engine. The next stage is to create a rule in order to fill the new cell with data. This has been achieved as follows:

• 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:
