Subscription Management for Premium Analytics Dashboards

Juniper Mist provides Premium Analytics dashboard types for different technology stacks such as Wireless & Location, Wired, and WAN. Depending on the number of subscriptions you have, you can select all dashboard types or specific dashboard types that belong to a particular stack.

Based on your selection, the Premium Analytics subscriptions are counted against the associated device types. For example, if you select the Wireless & Location dashboard type, only the number of APs and beacon points is considered against the Premium Analytics subscriptions. If you select Wired, then only the number of switches is considered. Likewise, if you select WAN, then only the number of WAN Edges is considered.

You can select the dashboard types from the Organization > Subscriptions > Premium Analytics page. When you select the dashboard types, only the relevant dashboards are displayed. Table 2 lists the dashboards that are visible for each dashboard type.

Note:

If you do not select a dashboard type, the dashboards under the Wireless category are enabled by default, and the Premium Analytics subscriptions are counted against the Access Points. For existing deployments, we recommend that you select the dashboard types to comply with the subscription count.

Cross-Launch Analytics Dashboards

Juniper Mist enables you to cross-launch dashboards from within a dashboard in certain cases. Here is an example of how you can cross-launch dashboards from the Occupancy Analytics dashboard for an organization.

The Zone Occupancy Insights section of the Occupancy Analytics dashboard provides details for zone-level occupancy as shown in the following example. A zone name in blue in the Zone Name column indicates that you can cross-launch the dashboard for that zone. You can then quickly view the details for a specific zone from the organization-level dashboard instead of navigating to the Occupancy Analytics Zone dashboard.

Here's the zone level dashboard for the Reception/Lobby/Entrance zone launched from the Occupancy Analytics dashboard. You can use the filters to drill down to specifics.
