Dashboard
The Dashboard provides a visual overview of your DigiCert® Device Trust Manager account and displays information for the following asset types:
Devices
Jobs
Deployments
Certificates
Device groups
Plans and licenses
Cloud platform policies
A device, also called an IoT device or simply an asset, is a connected physical unit or product equipped with sensors, chips, and connectivity features such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and/or Wi-Fi. These are typically manufactured by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and are registered and managed in DigiCert® Device Trust Manager.
Asset type | Key metrics | Description |
|---|---|---|
Device states/Devices by state: This table displays the total number of devices for a specified time period, organized by the device’s state. A device's state can be: | Provisioned |
|
Registered |
| |
Enrolled |
| |
Device status: This graph displays: | Enabled | Default state for devices in the Registered or Provisioned state, unless manually disabled |
Disabled | Device disabled from connecting to Device Trust Manager and prevented from reconnecting until it is manually re-enabled | |
Connection status: This graph displays Connected devices and Disconnected devices within a specified time frame. | Connected | The Connected status indicates that the device is currently connected to the Rendezvous service through MQTT. |
Disconnected |
|
Tipp
You can hover over the plot lines on the chart to view the exact number of devices for the corresponding time period.
A job facilitates batch processing within the Device Trust Manager. Specifically, you can create a job for:
Delegating batch registration of devices, including issuance of bootstrap certificates
Batch issuance of secondary bootstrap or operational certificates
Configuring a deployment to device groups
This table displays the following information for recently executed jobs:
Asset type | Key metrics | Description |
|---|---|---|
Batch device registration: This graph displays | Successful devices | Displays successful registrations for multiple devices through a batch job. |
Failed devices | Displays failed registrations for multiple devices through a batch job. | |
Recent jobs: This table displays information for recently executed jobs | Job ID | This column displays the alias of the job. |
Job type | This column displays the job type | |
Batch device registration | With this job type, you can register multiple devices as a batch job. Afterwards, you can issue bootstrap certificates and generate bootstrap configurations for the registered devices. | |
Batch certificate issuance | With this job type, after a device has been registered, you can issue secondary bootstrap or operational certificates. | |
Job result | This column displays the outcome of the job, which can be Successful or Failed. | |
Job run date | This column displays the date and time when the job was executed. |
You can hover over the bars to view the specific number of devices that successfully or unsuccessfully registered for the corresponding time period.
A deployment delivers releases (software updates) to device groups. A deployment represents the server-side model that manages device updates. Once a deployment is created, DigiCert® Device Trust Manager rolls out the release to both static an dynamic device groups.
Deployments involve packaging a release—which contains the artifacts—into a deployment. Once the deployment is created, it is rolled out to the target device groups. The deployment process ensures that updates are distributed across the device fleet in a structured manner.
Asset type | Key metrics | Description |
|---|---|---|
Deployment state/Deployments by state: This graph displays the number of deployments and their corresponding state, which can be: | Active |
|
Scheduled | A user selected the Schedule later deployment option, and the deployment has not yet been released. | |
Completed |
| |
Aborted | A scheduled or active deployment has been manually canceled by the user. | |
Recent deployments: This table displays the number of deployments based on their creation date. Deployments can be tracked at the individual device level. | Deployment ID | Displays the alias of the deployment. |
Deployment state | Displays the deployment state or deployment by state. | |

This graph displays the number of bootstrap and operational certificates that have been issued.
Asset type | Key metrics | Description |
|---|---|---|
Certificates issued | Bootstrap | Bootstrap certificates are used to securely onboard and authenticate new devices onto a network. |
Operational | Operational certificates are used to secure and authenticate existing devices already on a network. |
Tipp
You can hover over the plot lines on the graph to view the exact number of certificates for the corresponding time period.
A device group is used to manage and organize devices as a collection. All registered devices must be associated with a device group.
Device groups by division
This graph displays device groups, organized by its corresponding division.
A division is used to organize and manage IoT devices and certificates.
Tipp
You can hover over the plot lines on the graph to view the exact number of device groups for the corresponding division.
Device Trust Manager offers two subscription plans designed to meet different security and device management needs, namely the Essential plan and the Advanced plan. For more details, see Licensing and plans.
Asset type | Key metrics | Description |
|---|---|---|
Plans and licenses | Essential plan | Devices in the Essential plan are not registered for management within the platform. This plan issues certificates without creating device records, so these devices will not appear under Device management > Devices. Instead, certificates issued under this plan can be found under Certificate management > Certificates. |
Advanced plan | Devices enrolled in the Advanced plan must be registered in Device Trust Manager to enable full device management and security. Registered devices are listed under Device management > Devices, allowing centralized management and control. |
The cloud platform policy in Device Trust Manager defines the configuration required to automatically onboard and offboard devices to and from the OEM's preferred IoT platform, such as Azure Event Grid, AWS IoT, or Cumulocity IoT.
Asset type | Key metrics | Description |
|---|---|---|
Devices on board/Devices on board by status This table displays the number of devices onboarded to the cloud platform as per the policy. This snapshot is based on the device creation date. | In progress | The device is currently being onboarded. |
Completed | The device has been successfully onboarded. | |
Failed | Failed to onboard the device to the cloud platform. | |
Recently assigned policies This table displays information about recently assigned cloud platform policy, operational certificate policy, and the endpoint to which the device has been onboarded. | Name | Name of the cloud platform policy. |
Total devices onboarded | Total number of devices onboarded based on the creation date. | |
Device group | The associated device group. | |
Status | The status indicates the number of devices that are In progress, Completed, or Failed to onboard to the cloud platform as per the policy. |
