Dashboards
Overview​
The Dashboards feature provides you with rich insights about your infrastructure that is being scraped by Resoto.
You can build dashboards or use pre-built dashboards that come out of the box.
Dashboards are made up of different widgets that display data in different visual ways, such as tables, charts, and maps. Widgets can use different data sources, including historic data from a time series database like Prometheus, or live data directly from Resoto Core.
Dashboards are saved in Resoto Core in JSON format and can be managed using the Configuration Editor.
Interface​
Dashboards can be accessed through a tab selection at the top of the screen.
Manage Dashboards​
The last tab is the Manage Dashboards
tab, where you can add, delete, duplicate, and open dashboards.
In this interface you can also drop a dashboard's exported json
file to import the dashboard into your Resoto UI.
Closing a dashboard using the ✖ button will only close it, not delete it. You can re-open your dashboard again in the Manage Dashboards
tab.
Top​
The main toolbar is located at the top of the view. Here you can filter the dashboard data by Cloud
, Account
, or Region
. You can also change the time range that is displayed on the dashboard in the center of the toolbar.
Widgets using data sources that display Live Data are ignoring the time range settings.
On the right side of this toolbar, you will find four more buttons: more
, edit mode
, maximize the view
and close dashboard
. Clicking more
will open up a popup where you can change the automatic refresh rate of the dashboard, export the dashboard to JSON (which can also be imported again), renaming or delete the dashboard.
Clicking the edit mode
button will change the current dashboard's state between view mode and edit mode. While a dashboard is in edit mode, you can add, modify, or delete widgets.
Bottom​
When a dashboard is opened, the bottom part of the screen will display the dashboard with its widgets. While the dashboard is in edit mode, you can modify the widgets in this part of the view.
