# Dashboard Deployment and Messages Chart

From the main Dashboard Deployment heading, it provides an overview about which edge device deployments are configured on the Belden Horizon Data Manager. It also allows you to monitor how the edge device deployments influence the resources like CPU, Disk storage or Network traffic of Belden Horizon Data Manager and take action to ensure the highest availability. You can view:

- The number of Companies
- The number of Projects
- The number of edge devices, including statistics like Total bytes transferred and Total Messages transferred.

The Messages chart allows you to monitor the quantity of messages received over time. This allows you to identify slack time or anomalies in the quantity of data received from your edge devices. You can view statistics for the quantity of edge device messages received at a given time from this chart. You can view a point in time for the chart.

To synchronize the local time and *System Time*, you will need to configure one or both of the following:

- Fix the local time of your device (the device you're using to access Belden Horizon Data Manager).
- Fix the Belden Horizon Data Manager's *System Time. *To do this, under [NTP Client Settings](docId\:hRmAskLSu9CAdrlP7k-UE)*,* you will need to specify and add the proper external NTP Server(s) that the Belden Horizon Data Manager will connect to.
