top-event-producers.svgTop Event Producers tile

The Top Event Producers tile displays the entities that have the greatest number of event instances reported against them during the current time period, in descending order. The tile displays entity names, the total count of event instances, and a heat map.

  • Each entity name in a tile is a link to the entity’s Smart View page.

  • The total count is the deduplicated count.

  • The heat map represents the distribution of event occurrences during the current time period.
