In Juniper Apstra, a widget is a graphical element that displays data from an intent-based analytics (IBA) probe. A widget can be used to monitor different aspects of the network and raise alerts to any anomalies. A widget can be viewed by itself or added to an analytics dashboard. A dashboard is a collection of widgets that can be customized and organized according to the user’s preference1.

The main dashboard in Juniper Apstra is the blueprint dashboard, which is the default view that shows the network information and configuration for the active blueprint. A blueprint is a logical representation of the network design and intent. The blueprint dashboard can display the system-generated dashboards, the user-generated dashboards, and the individual widgets that are relevant to the network2.

To make a widget appear on the main dashboard in Juniper Apstra, the user needs to set the Default toggle switch to On for the desired widget. This will add the widget to the blueprint dashboard, where it can be viewed along with other network information. The user can also remove the widget from the blueprint dashboard by setting the Default toggle switch to Off for the widget3. Therefore, the statement D is correct in this scenario.

The following three statements are incorrect in this scenario:

When creating the widget, select the Add to Blueprint Dashboard option. This is not true, because there is no such option when creating a widget in Juniper Apstra. The user can only select the widget type, the probe, and the display mode when creating a widget4. To add the widget to the blueprint dashboard, the user needs to set the Default toggle switch to On for the widget after creating it3.

On the blueprint dashboard, click on the Add Widget option. This is not true, because there is no such option on the blueprint dashboard in Juniper Apstra. The user can only view, edit, or delete the existing widgets and dashboards on the blueprint dashboard2. To add a widget to the blueprint dashboard, the user needs to set the Default toggle switch to On for the widget from the widgets table view3.

Widgets automatically appear on the blueprint dashboard. This is not true, because widgets do not automatically appear on the blueprint dashboard in Juniper Apstra. The user needs to manually add the widgets to the blueprint dashboard by setting the Default toggle switch to On for the widgets that they want to see on the blueprint dashboard3. The only exception is the widgets that are part of the system-generated dashboards, which are automatically created and added to the blueprint dashboard based on the state of the active blueprint2.
