Hello again,
Yes in short, you are accurate in your understanding but i would like to kindly offer a few possibilities.
The WebUI dashboard widgets today are targeting operational aspects and operationally speaking requires users to login and hover over or click graphs and correlations to drill into details and analytic findings. Dashboard variables and filters can help limit/minimize which assets, resources and applications are being displayed in those widgets but they will not remediate the ellipsis for very large names for your intention of sending periodic screen captions. However; many of the available widgets have a "legend" selection ability that may offer some benefit into identifying which resources are being represented.
Depending on how granular you need the data, the OnCommand Insight Datawarehouse (DWH) reporting could be leveraged and is what much of our customers commonly use for providing stakeholders periodic reporting snapshots into datacenter resources. The DWH reports will also represent the full name (with no truncation).
The DWH reports have the added benefit of being able to be routinely scheduled (taking out the manual labor involved) and can be sent to your external stakeholders in a variety of formats and email delivery options: PDF, HTML, CSV and you can send them every day or for example on the 1st of every month. The reports could even be sent/stored daily to a file share location such as SharePoint for users to access when necessary.
Many of the display visualizations available in operational Dashboard widgets are also available in the Data warehouse reports such as top 10 breakdowns, hourly, daily weekly, Monthly...Trends with added capabilities only available in the data warehouse such as forecasting, Costs and so on. There are many available reports available on Https://automationstore.netapp.com that you could preview and download. They are quite simple to import as well.
OnCommand Insight has one of the most aggressive release cycles in the industry with numerous releases and service packs released every year in an effort to provide our customers support for new emerging technologies and usability improvements. If there is a use case mising or usuability improvement, we have an improvement feature request (IFR) process your OCI sales representative or SE can assist with. Our product Management awant to hear them. Hope this helps.
Have a wonderful day.
