SonicWALL GMS Management Interface Introduction
SonicWALL GMS is a Web-based application for configuring, managing, monitoring and
gathering reports from thousands of SonicWALL Internet security appliances and non-
SonicWALL appliances, all from a central location. This section provides an introduction
to the main elements of the Web-based management interface. This section contains the
following subsections:
• “Login Screen” on page 34
• “Dashboard” on page 34
• “Live Monitoring” on page 35
• “Multi-Solution Management” on page 35
• “Management Interface” on page 36
Login Screen
The login screen allows you to securely login to SonicWALL GMS using your GMS
application user ID and password. The SonicWALL GMS management interface is
available by default at http://localhost/sgms/ after completing registration.
Dashboard
The Dashboard tab is a customizable dashboard of your SonicWALL GMS deployment.
The Dashboard tab provides powerful network visualization reporting, monitoring, and
search filtering tools consolidated into one area of the management user interface. The
Dashboard tab provides administrators with an executive summary through a Universal
Dashboard geographic map. As depicted in the screenshot below, the Geographic View
provides a scalable map that displays your SonicWALL GMS-managed units and
SonicWALL GMS servers using graphical icons—these icons provide system state
information with a mouse over.
