Dashboard
The DMARQ dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your DMARC compliance status across all your domains. This centralized view allows you to quickly identify compliance issues and track improvements over time.
Dashboard Overview
The main dashboard is divided into several key sections:
- Domain Summary: Shows a list of all monitored domains with their compliance rates
- Compliance Metrics: Displays overall compliance statistics across all domains
- Recent Reports: Shows the most recently received DMARC reports
- Email Volume Trends: Charts email volume over time
- Authentication Results: Breakdown of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC pass rates
Key Metrics Explained
Compliance Rate
The compliance rate represents the percentage of email messages that pass DMARC authentication. This is a key metric for understanding your email authentication health.
- 90-100%: Excellent - Your email authentication is working well
- 70-89%: Good - Some improvements may be needed
- Below 70%: Needs attention - Significant authentication issues exist
Email Volume
The email volume chart shows the number of emails sent using your domains over time. This helps you identify:
- Unusual spikes that might indicate spam or phishing attempts
- Normal sending patterns for your domains
- The impact of email marketing campaigns or other planned sending activities
Authentication Breakdown
This section provides detailed insights into how emails are passing or failing authentication:
- SPF Results: Shows pass/fail rates for Sender Policy Framework checks
- DKIM Results: Shows pass/fail rates for DomainKeys Identified Mail signatures
- DMARC Results: Shows overall pass/fail rates based on your DMARC policy
Filtering and Customization
The dashboard supports various filtering options to help you focus on specific data:
- Date Range: Filter data by a specific time period
- Domain Filter: Focus on specific domains
- Compliance Status: Filter to show only passing or failing results
To customize your view:
- Click the Filter button in the top-right corner
- Select your desired filters
- Click Apply Filters to update the dashboard view
