The need for a Unified Dashboard for a 360° view

When PKI Visibility Breaks, Risk Multiplies

As PKI estates grow across CAs, cloud CAs, HSMs, internal services and edge devices, monitoring surfaces fragment. Teams risk slow detection, missed dependencies, and operational mistakes. A unified dashboard gives security and ops teams a real-time, correlated view of posture, health, and automation status so they can act with confidence.

From High-Level Visibility to Deep Operational Insight

The Unified Monitoring Dashboard in PKI Insights is designed as the starting point, not the endpoint. It gives PKI administrators an immediate, high-level snapshot of the health and activity across their entire trust infrastructure – and then seamlessly connects them to in-depth, domain-specific dashboards for deeper analysis and root-cause investigation.

This approach allows teams to quickly answer two critical questions:

• Is something wrong anywhere right now?

• Why is it happening, and what exactly needs attention?

Summary View: One Pane of Glass

What the Unified Monitoring Dashboard shows

• Multiple CAs – health rating, status, cert stats across all CA instances

• SSL/TLS endpoints – health rating, near expiring cert stats and alert count

• CLM scans & jobs – what’s being renewed, file format, key type & renewal cycle

• HSM monitoring – HSM availability, connectivity and health stats

• Agents & processes – which agents are running, & scan coverage

• Multiple PKI Insights engines – to ensure fault tolerance

Drill-Down Dashboards: Actionable Detail Where It Matters

From the unified view, administrators can drill down into dedicated detailed dashboards, each tailored to a specific PKI domain.

Agents – secure, lightweight, flexible

Agents are the secure bridge that let PKI Insights collect telemetry without requiring direct, inbound access to sensitive resources:

• Security-first design: Agent <→ PKI Insights communication uses mutual TLS and OAuth tokens for authentication and authorization.

• Agent topology options: Install separate agents for specific functions (CA discovery, HSM telemetry, local endpoint scans) or use one agent to cover multiple monitoring tasks depending on your segmentation policy.

• Preserve your security architecture: Agents run inside your network boundary and push telemetry out, so you don’t need to open new inbound ports or change firewall topologies.

• Platform support: Agents support Linux and Windows environments; lightweight footprint and centralized agent management.

• Agent resiliency: Secure retry and to ensure integrity when connectivity is intermittent.

Security & privacy built in, not bolted on

• All controller-to-agent and agent-to-cloud calls are encrypted with TLS.

• OAuth ensures scoped, revocable access for agents and services.

• Minimal privileges: agents run with the least privilege required to collect telemetry.

• Audit trails: every agent action and system change is logged for compliance and incident forensics.

Why Security Teams Choose PKI Insights

• True single pane of glass for PKI monitoring
  One unified dashboard surfaces the health of Certificate Authorities, SSL/TLS endpoints, HSMs, CLM scans, agents, and PKI instances – eliminating fragmented views and blind spots.

• Instant situational awareness
  At-a-glance indicators show what’s up, what’s at risk, and what needs attention without navigating multiple screens.

• Seamless drill-down from summary to root cause
  High-level metrics link directly to detailed dashboards, allowing teams to move from “something’s wrong” to “here’s why” in seconds.

• Faster triage, fewer false assumptions
  Unified signals reduce guesswork by correlating CA health, issuance activity, agent status, and monitoring coverage in one view.

• Security-aware monitoring architecture
  The dashboard reflects data collected via secure agents, maintaining network segmentation and ensuring visibility without breaking security boundaries.
