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

The Dashboards page within Tenable Exposure Management offers built-in themed dashboards alongside customizable widgets, enabling seamless data exploration and full visibility across your Tenable One platform. This section includes with easy, on-demand export options that allow you to share at-a-glance views of key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to a particular objective or business process.

Important: Note the following dashboard limitations:
  • Only licensed assets are included in dashboard data.
  • Dashboard data refreshes every 2 hours.
  • By default, Tenable Exposure Management retains dashboard data within the user interface for 90 days. To access this data after this point, contact your Tenable representative.
  • Dashboards only include data from tags created within Tenable Exposure Management. Dashboards do not include tag data from other Tenable applications or third-party sources.

The Dashboards page in Tenable Exposure Management separates your available dashboards into the following tabs:

  • All — All dashboards available within your Tenable Exposure Management account.

  • Built-In — Tenable-provided built-in dashboards that highlight common KPIs.

  • Created by Me — All dashboards created by you.

  • Public — All public dashboards created by users within your Tenable Exposure Management container.

Note: Tenable refreshes dashboard data daily at 3:00 AM in the time zone within which the container resides.

Best Practices for Viewing Dashboard Data

To ensure you and your users can view and interact with the appropriate data on their dashboards, you must ensure they have the appropriate permissions.

For example:

  • If user has no permissions (e.g., Can Use, Can View), they should not see any dashboard data.

  • If user has ONLY the Can View permission, they can see asset data, but not tag data.

  • If user has ONLY the Can Use permission, they can see tag data, but not asset or finding data.

  • For a user to see BOTH asset and tag data on dashboards and widgets, they must have both the Can Use and Can View permissions.

For more information on permissions and how to apply them, see Permissions in the Tenable Vulnerability Management User Guide.

Tip: You can use the User Assist capability to impersonate a user and check what data they're seeing within their own container.
