Dashboards

Dashboards provide customizable visualization surfaces for your operational data. Build team-specific views combining metrics charts, log panels, incident lists, topology maps, and custom widgets.

Key Features

• Drag-and-drop editor — Resize and position widgets freely on a grid layout
• Widget library — Time series charts, bar charts, gauges, tables, log streams, topology maps, incident lists, and markdown text
• Template variables — Add dropdown filters for environment, service, region, or any tag
• Auto-refresh — Configurable refresh intervals from 5 seconds to 24 hours
• Sharing — Share dashboards with teams, export as PDF, or set as the default view for a role
• Alerting from dashboards — Right-click any chart to create an alert rule from the current query
• Dashboard-as-code — Export/import dashboards as JSON for version control

How to Access

Navigate to Dashboards in the left sidebar. The view shows all dashboards you have access to, organized by team or category.

Basic Usage

1. Click New Dashboard and give it a name (e.g., “Production API Health”)
2. Click Add Widget and choose a visualization type
3. Configure the widget’s data source: select a metric, write a log query, or choose an incident filter
4. Resize and position the widget on the canvas
5. Add template variables (e.g., a $service dropdown) to make the dashboard reusable
6. Set the auto-refresh interval and time range
7. Click Save and optionally share with your team
