Logserver widget

Logserver widget is worthy of a special mention, because it aggregates data from your Logserver instance and displays it in the form of a dashboard in Energy Monitor.

After adding the widget the administrator must log into Energy Logserver as he normally would.

Note:

Keep in mind that if the widget is too small for your preference, you can increase it’s height using the menu under the “Gear” icon.
