The HTML widget allows you to embed secure HTML pages and videos on your LogicMonitor dashboard. You can use the HTML widget to view the current status of a website you’re monitoring. For example, you can display the AWS up time websites, a bug tracking website, or the current time in different regions on your dashboard, making the information visible directly in your LogicMonitor portal.

Configuring an HTML widget involves adding either a URL or embedded iFrame content to the HTML widget settings, and then selecting a color scheme for the widget display.

Requirements for Configuring an HTML Widget

• You cannot insert HTML text directly into this widget. For information on how to insert HTML text directly into a widget, see Text Widget.
• Only websites accessible from your network can be added to an HTML widget. Blocked sites will not populate in the widget.
• The website URL must be secure (HTTPS).
• HTML widgets cannot display sites with an X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header. This header prevents other sites from displaying it as an iframe.
