Quick Dashboard Creation¶

Dashboards display functionally related visual reports on the same interface, building data insight scenarios through multi-dimensional data analysis. You can start building visual scenarios by creating a blank dashboard from scratch or importing a custom template, and comprehensively monitor data metrics from different sources by adding charts, time controls, keyword searches, tag filters, and more.

• Monitor core data: Display key performance indicators in chart form;

• Real-time data analysis: Provide real-time data and historical trend analysis;

• Unified monitoring components: Integrate data from different services, applications, and infrastructure for unified monitoring;

• Support collaboration and sharing: Facilitate team members to create, share, and collaborate on dashboards.

Create¶

You can create a dashboard in three ways.

Start by creating a blank dashboard;

Import a dashboard;

Reuse views from the built-in template library for creation.

Blank Dashboard¶

1. Define the name of the current dashboard;

2. Define the identifier ID for this dashboard;

3. Optionally enter a description for this dashboard;

4. Select tags for easy grouping and management later;

5. Choose the visibility scope for this dashboard;

6. Click OK to create successfully.

Identifier ID¶

This ID is defined as identifier and is used to determine the uniqueness of a dashboard or view.

Use Cases¶

It can be used to configure jump links for charts, enabling unique and deterministic positioning.

: Define the dashboard's identifier ID as abc. In the final exported JSON file, the parameter is: "identifier": "abc"

: When configuring a jump link for a chart, add the link to the dashboard with identifier ID abc as:

/scene/dashboard/dashboardDetail?identifier=abc

In addition to dashboards, views are also applicable:

// type field optional values: inner (user view), sys (system view). Defaults to inner if not provided:
/scene/builtinview/detail?identifier=abc&type=sys // System view
/scene/builtinview/detail?identifier=abc&type=inner // User view
/scene/builtinview/detail?identifier=abc // User view

Visibility Scope¶

The visibility scope of a dashboard includes:

• Public: Open to all members in the workspace;

• Visible only to me: Only the creator can view it;

• Custom: Restrict visibility to specific members.

Import Dashboard¶

• Select to upload a .json file:

• Define the name of the current dashboard;

• Define the identifier ID for this dashboard;

• Optionally enter a description for this dashboard;

• Upload a custom view template JSON file;

• Select tags for easy grouping and management later;

• Choose the visibility scope for this dashboard;

• Click OK to create successfully.

• Select to upload a .zip file:

The system uses whether the identifier ID is duplicated as the detection standard.

If not duplicated, the import is successful; if duplicated, you need to choose to skip, overwrite and create, or cancel.

After a successful import, you can go to Dashboard > Import Items to view.

Built-in Template Library¶

Ready to use, including system views and user views.

1. The dashboard name defaults to the name of the selected view and can be changed as needed;

2. Define the identifier ID for this dashboard;

3. Optionally enter a description for this dashboard;

4. Select tags for easy grouping and management later;

5. Choose the visibility scope for this dashboard;

6. Click OK to create successfully.
