Configuring the Status Page
Next, users should proceed to the status page editor within the monitoring and setup section. By default, the alarms page is displayed. However, users can add a new page by selecting "Add" and assigning an appropriate name. The status page can be configured with a layout of choice, featuring options for columns and rows, enabling the creation of a personalized panel that meets specific operational needs. For instance, users may opt for an events page layout with two columns and three rows to accommodate preferred devices.
