Properties

Global Properties

You can POST the following properties for all new widgets.

Property	Description	Required?	Type	Example
name	The name of the widget	Yes	String	“name”:”Apache Requests”
description	The description of the widget	No	String	“description”:”My Widget Description”
type	alert \| deviceNOC \| html \| serviceOverallStatus \| sgraph \| ngraph \| serviceNOC \| serviceSLA \| deviceSLA \| bigNumber \| gmap \| serviceIndividualStatus \| gauge \| pieChart \| ngraph \| batchjob”	Yes	String	“type”:”alert”
dashboardId	The id of the dashboard the widget will be added to	Yes	Integer	“dashboardId”:50
theme	The color scheme of the widget. Options are borderPurple \| borderGray \| borderBlue \| solidPurple \| solidGray \| solidBlue \| simplePurple \| simpleBlue \| simpleGray \| newBorderGray \| newBorderBlue \| newBorderDarkBlue \| newSolidGray \| newSolidBlue \| newSolidDarkBlue \| newSimpleGray \| newSimpleBlue \|newSimpleDarkBlue	No. Defaults to borderPurple.	String	“theme”:”simplePurple”
colSpan	The number of columns the widget’s width should consume	No. Defaults to 1.	Integer	“colSpan”:1
rowSpan	The number of rows the widget’s height should consume	No. Defaults to 1.	Integer	“rowSpan”:1
interval	The refresh interval of the widget. Options are 1 \| 3 \| 5 \| 10 \| 15 (all in minutes)	No. Defaults to 3.	Integer	“interval”:1
