The widget module configuration is defined by the Items property of the SysDashboard object. Learn more about the SysDashboard object and its properties in the “Dashboard widgets” article.

Set the “Metric” value to the widgetType property in the JSON configuration object with widget settings. In addition, assign the parameters property to the object with necessary parameters. Possible metric parameters are listed in table 1.
