Out-of-the box, AppMarq data integration is already enabled in this release of the CAST Health Dashboard. If you would prefer not to see this data, you can disable it by editing the following file:

CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-Health\portal\resources\cmp.json

The integration is controlled using the "appMarq": true, option. Change this option to false as shown below to disable the data integration:

{
    "title": "Health Dashboard",
    "defaultLanguage": "English",
    "description": "To configure new language for application, define customLanguages as [{'label': 'languageName', 'value': 'localeFolderName'}]",
    "customLanguages": [],
    "horizontalScroll": false,
    "requestAccess": false,
    "appMarq": false,
    "failedRatio": false,
    "confirmLogout": true,
    "persistNavigationFilters":true,
    "filtering":{
      "filterTags":true
    },

When Appmarq data integration is enabled the following can be seen in the CAST Health Dashboard:

Two new columns for Health Measure drill down

Two new columns are visible when drilling down from a Health Measure tile (such as TQI, Robustness, Security, Efficiency etc.)

Quartile information

For each Health Measure, a Quartile indicator will be visible:

The Quartile indicator is a quick visualization using a "traffic light" system of how the current Application compares to all Applications currently managed in Appmarq. For example, in the image above the first Quartile is shaded green, this means that the current Application has a score for the Security Health Measure that is in the top 25% of the compliance ratios of all Applications currently managed in Appmarq - in other words, the current Application is performing well for this Health Measure compared to Appmarq data.

Quartile thresholds are based on the Appmarq data using a percentage scale for each Health Measure - the thresholds can therefore vary when new Appmarq data is integrated into the dashboard. The current Application's compliance ratios for all rules attached to the current Health Measure are totalled and an average value is produced. This average value is then compared with the Appmarq data for the same Health Measure and is ranked as follows:

• If the average falls between the upper and max thresholds, it will be marked as 1st Quartile and displayed with a green color
• If the average falls between median and upper thresholds, it will be marked as 2nd Quartile and displayed with an amber color 
• If the average falls between lower and median thresholds, it will be marked as 3rd Quartile and displayed with a with red color
• If the average falls between min and lower thresholds, it will be marked as 4th Quartile - displays with dark red color

Appmarq data is provided with the CAST Health Dashboard (in the form of a .json file): this data will be marked in the dashboard as "up-to-date" for three months from first use:

After this period of time, the Appmarq data will be marked as out-of-date - but you can continue to use it:

If you want to use fresh and up-to-date Appmarq data, you will need an Appmarq subscription which will give you the option to download new data and integrate it into the dashboard.

Appmarq data is provided in the WAR file in the following file:

CATALINA_HOME\webapps\CAST-Health\portal\resources\appMarqStats.json

To refresh the Appmarq data if it is marked as out-of-date, replace this file with a new one (available from the Appmarq website) and then restart the application server so that the new data is take into account.

{
  "id": 108,
  "plugin": "QualityStandards",
  "color": "light-red",
  "parameters": {
	"title": "Top Priority",
	"qualityStandards": {
	  "id": "AIP-TOP-PRIORITY",
	  "format": "0,000",
	  "description": "Violations"
	}
  }
},

This tile requires that the following extensions are installed BEFORE a snapshot is generated:

• Quality Standards Mapping
  
• System Level Rules

This page allows you to view details/violations/statistics about the rules that have been selected for Education:

• All the rules marked for "Education" are listed in the upper right corner, with a selector for all the rules. Selecting or deselecting a rule will update the statistics and graphs.

• Three violation status radio buttons listed in the bottom right corner - selecting a specific option will update the statistics and graphs about the rules that have been selected in the upper right corner:

• A graph depicting violations count in the y-axis and snapshots date in the x-axis together with a Violations improvement-summary on top of the Graph:

• Table showing a list of Violations in the current snapshot for all rules selected in the upper right corner:

When no rules have been added to the Education tab, the page will display:

When a previous snapshot is active, no data can be displayed in the Improvement tab and the following will be displayed:

Rules can be exported to Excel:

Added 

On selection of the Added status, the graph will display the number of Violations added in the current snapshot and the number of Violations added since initial snapshot for a selected rule. Hovering the mouse pointer over the graph tool tip text displays added violations count, snapshot version and snapshot date for that particular snapshot in the x-axis:

Removed

On selection of the Removed status, the graph will display the number of Violations removed in the current snapshot and the number of Violations removed since initial snapshot for a selected rule. Hovering the mouse pointer over the graph tool tip text displays added violations count, snapshot version and snapshot date for that particular snapshot in the x-axis:

Total

On selection of the Total status , the graph will display the number of Violations in current snapshot, percentage (number) of violations that have Increased since initial snapshot and the percentage of violations that have Increased since previous snapshot for a selected rule.  Hovering the mouse pointer over the graph tool tip text displays added violations count, snapshot version and snapshot date for that particular snapshot in the x-axis:

Note that when a user has all available roles, the drop down options will be enabled as below:

• Selector will be disabled if a Rule is added to Educate and violations (belonging to the rule) are added either to Action Plan or Exclusion:

• Selector will be enabled when violation/rule is added only to Action plan/Exclusion/Educate. But respective drop-down option will be disabled:
