Understanding the Predefined Widgets

Chapter 2

The top section of the widget displays all device and feature licenses installed on 

the Defense Center, including temporary licenses, while the Expiring Licenses 

section displays only temporary and expired licenses. For example, if you have 

two feature licenses for FireSIGHT Hosts, one of which is a permanent license 

and allows 750 hosts, and another that is temporary and allows an additional 750 

hosts, the top section of the widget displays a FireSIGHT Hosts feature license 

with 1500 licensed hosts, while the Expiring Licenses section displays a 

FireSIGHT Hosts feature license with 750 hosts.
The bars in the widget background show the percentage of each type of license 

that is being used; you should read the bars from right to left. Expired licenses are 

marked with a strikethrough. 
You can configure the widget to display either the features that are currently 

licensed, or all the features that you can license, by modifying the widget 

preferences. The preferences also control how often the widget updates. For 

more information, see 

You can click any of the license types to go to the License page of the local 

configuration and add or delete feature licenses. For more information, see 

Understanding the Product Updates Widget

: Any

The Product Updates widget provides you with a summary of the software 

(Sourcefire 3D System software and rule updates) currently installed on the 

appliance as well as information on available updates that you have downloaded, 

but not yet installed, for that software. This widget appears by default on the 

Status tabs of the Detailed Dashboard and the Summary Dashboard.
Note that the widget displays 

Unknown

 as the latest version of the software 

unless you have configured a scheduled task to download, push, or install 

software updates; the widget uses scheduled tasks to determine the latest 

version. For more information, see 

The widget also provides you with links to pages where you can update the 

software; the Defense Center version of the widget provides you with similar 

links so you can update the software on your managed devices.
