Used to display a title in each landing page:

By default this is set to:

• cmp.json / cmp-ISO.json = Health Dashboard
• app.json = Application Level Health Dashboard

Note that the app.json file is located as shown below (this is the only dashboard wide option that is available in both the cmp.json / cmp-ISO.json and app.json files):

CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-Health\portal\resources\app.json

Used to determine whether a "Can't access" link is displayed on the login screen. By default this is set to "false" and the link is not displayed. Change this value to "true" to enable the link. This link enables a user who is not able to log in (for example because they have forgotten their login credentials or if they have not yet been granted access) to send an email to the dashboard administrator requesting access:

See Lost password and request access configuration for more information about how to modify the template emails that are sent out when a user uses this option.

Appmarq data (anonymous statistics collected from a large range of industry-wide applications) is integrated into the CAST Health Dashboard and enabled by default. This integration allows you to compare the application health and delivery performance of your applications against data from a wide-range of industry peers (see Health Dashboard - Appmarq Insight for more information).

Out-of-the box, AppMarq data integration is already enabled. If you would prefer not to see this data, you can disable it by changing this value to false:

"appMarq": false,

Drilling down from a Health Measure tile (TQI, Robustness, Efficiency, Security, Changeability, Transferability) or the Top Critical Rules tile will display a list of structural rules that have been triggered during the source code analysis/snapshot with various statistics. One of the columns displayed is labelled "%Compliance" (when drilling down from a Health Measure Tile) or "%Failed" (when drilling down from the Top Critical Rules tile.

You can force the column to be displayed as "%Failed" regardless of where the user drills down from by changing the value to true:

"failedRatio": true,

When a user logs out of the Health Dashboard, a confirmation message will be displayed by default:

If you would like to deactivate this confirmation message, simply change

"confirmLogout": true,

to

"confirmLogout": false,

By default the dashboard will listen for GET or POST requests and when none are detected a timeout will occur. When the timeout occurs a dialog box will be displayed - this indicates (in the upper right corner) how many seconds are remaining before a re-login will be required - the default remaining seconds is set to 10. Clicking Continue will return to the session without requiring a login.

To change the remaining seconds, add the following parameter to the file, where xx = the number of seconds:

"alertTimeoutInterval":xx,

For example, 30 seconds has been defined:

  "configuration": {
    "defaultLanguage": "English",
    "description": "To configure new language for application, define customLanguages as [{'label': 'languageName', 'value': 'localeFolderName'}]",
    "customLanguages": [],
    "requestAccess": false,
    "confirmLogout": true,
    "filterHealthFactor": true,
    "violationsCount" : 5000,
	"alertTimeoutInterval":30,

This option enables fine tuning of the time period options for evolution data that are available to users in the top right hand corner of the dashboard:

These options are explained in more detail in Health Dashboard - GUI (see Time period selection).

• shift: (true by default) If true then the time period shown ends at the time of the last snapshot (considering all Applications at Multi-application level and the selected Application at Application level) to help focus on the most recent data available rather than the actual time scale. If false then all time period filters end on the current day/time.
• periods: provides a means to configure the period filter menu:
  • diff: is an integer value representing the period length
  • units: represents the time unit associated to diff (possible values are: "days", "months", "years", "alltime"). If alltime is set, the diff value is not taken into account. 
  • unitsValue: will be used for the text in the drop down list. Can be modified for specific locales (Chinese for example) to provide a translation.
  • selected: (false by default) set to true on the period you wish to be selected by default when the user opens a page
  • label: represents a custom time period label to be used. Otherwise, the label is based on the diff and units parameters.

This option sets the API timeout period (i.e. for fetching data). By default this is set to 60000ms (1 minute). After the set time period, a timeout will occur and the Health Dashboard will no longer attempt to fetch that specific data.

Increasing the timeout period can be useful when you have a large number of applications (200+) configured in the Health Dashboard, or you have a number of Applications that are very big - if you are consistently finding that the Health Dashboard is not fetching all data (i.e. tiles are empty), then you should increase the timeout period in steps until the data loads correctly.

This option sets the snapshot threshold value. By default this is set to 1500. Several slow loading tiles will not be displayed if the snapshot count is above this threshold. This is designed to improve performance when loading the multi-app portfolio home page.

The tiles that will be removed are as follows:

• Overview section:

  • Applications Map 

  • Top Riskiest Applications 

  • Top 5 critical Rules

• Trends section:
  • All tiles (all the Evolution tiles and the Applications Fast Facts tile).

This option defines the format used to export AEP or legacy EFP data. By default it is set to XLSX (Excel) format. You can change this to CSV formation if necessary as follows:

"exportformat": "csv",
