Data Linking in Dashboards¶
Data connected to Guance has high correlation and interactivity.
- Highly correlated data provides more comprehensive and accurate information, helping users understand the true state of business systems, thus formulating more accurate strategies;
- Interactive data reduces inefficient collaboration across platforms, teams, and members, truly bringing you the experience of "one platform, overseeing all".
Using Labels¶
Guance dashboards can be linked with modules like Infrastructure, Logs, APM, RUM, Explorer, etc., through custom Label
tags. When viewing data in other modules, you can also view the associated dashboard on the same page.

- Requirement: Hope to view Kafka usage on hosts named
filebeat-logstash
with Labelkafka
within the Infrastructure module; - Solution: By associating via
Label
, you can bind the Kafka monitoring view from the Dashboard module to the Infrastructure module, achieving simultaneous viewing without navigation.
