Valid Custom Widget Combinations

The following is not supported in Tenable FedRAMP Moderate environments. For more information, see the Tenable FedRAMP Product Offering.

When creating a custom widget in the Analytics > Dashboards section, Tenable Exposure Management performs a data validation check to ensure all optional chart data combinations work together. When you choose a field, the remaining drop-down options are automatically filtered to show only fields that can be combined with your selection.

Each field you can choose from is one of two types:

  • Attributes – descriptive details you can group or filter by, such as an asset’s name, a finding’s severity, or a date.
  • Metrics – the numeric values being measured, such as a count of assets, detections, or findings.

Attributes and metrics are organized into categories. For example, all asset-related attributes belong to the Asset Attributes category, and all asset-related metrics belong to the Asset Metrics category. A field from one category can only be combined with fields from certain other categories, as shown in the tables below.

Which Categories Can Be Combined

Find your attribute category in the left column to see which metric categories it can be combined with in a custom widget.

Asset Attributes Yes No Yes
Date Attributes Yes Yes No
Detection Attributes No Yes Yes
Exposure Category Attributes Yes No Yes
Tag Attributes Yes No Yes
Severity Attributes Yes Yes Yes
