The Admin Hub is the customizable home page for the Admin Console. It features tabs and tiles that display the topology of the services in the Pyramid cluster including high-level diagnostic data, a summary of the current licensing, pulse nodes, task status, and so on, and embedded discoveries and presentations. The Admin Hub is a good way to share your organization's Pyramid usage data.
