Explore the Fing Dashboard

The Fing Dashboard

When you first launch the Fing Application, it automatically discovers and displays an at-a-glance view of your network, including product names, device status, security, link speed, changes, and other important and interesting information about your network. If not already selected, click Overview on the left navigation panel on the Fing Desktop or the navigation bar on the mobile App to display this screen.  On the Fing Web App, the screen is displayed when the App is launched.

In the example using the Fing desktop app, you can see at once that the general health of the network is good but the security level could be better. You can also see that Digiweb is the network provider with an upload speed of 77.6 Mbps and a download speed of 72.7 Mpbs.

Network Insights

The lower part of the desktop dashboard provides additional insights into your network devices, brand, model, and device types.    Here is an example of the network insights view from the Dashboard.  For more information on Network Insights on the Fing Desktop, see Network Insights.

Fing Dashboard-Web App

The Fing Dashboard is automatically displayed when you launch the Fing Web App.   Similar to the Fing Desktop Dashboard, use the left navigation bar or click on any of the four cards to view or perform network tasks, for example, get a device inventory, review your ISP performance, see your security status, and view a timeline and list of network events.   In the example below, the Web App lower right card shows that 75 events occurred.  

From the Web App dashboard top menu, you can also change the network context, home, office, or other location, and you can change the currently monitored network by clicking the Change Network button on the upper right part of the window.   This example shows the dashboard structure and how you can navigate it for further exploration.    More detail on each task or view is provided in the article for that area or function.

The Connectivity Report provides a detailed connectivity status in real time for your network, for example, DNS, DHCP, and Gateway information,  whether it can access common destinations, as well as whether it passed or failed tests for good connectivity.  Go to Connectivity Report for more information on this report.
