Detection and response widgets

On the Detection and response tab, you can add, configure, and delete widgets.

A selection of widgets used in the Detection and response tab is called a layout. All widgets must be placed in layouts. Kaspersky Next XDR Expert allows you to create, edit, and delete layouts. Preconfigured layouts are also available. You can edit widget settings in the preconfigured layouts as necessary. By default, the Alerts Overview layout is selected on the Detection and response tab.

The widget displays data for the period selected in the widget or layout settings only for the tenants that are selected in the widget or layout settings.

By clicking the link with the name of the widget about events, alerts, incidents, or active lists, you can go to the corresponding section of the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert interface. Note that this option is not available for some widgets.

The following widget groups and widgets are available on the Detection and response tab of the dashboard:

  • Events. Widget for creating analytics based on events.
  • Active lists. Widget for creating analytics based on active lists of correlators.

      In some cases, the number of alerts generated by sources may be inaccurate.
