Read more about our Linux host monitoring dashboard. We are planning to release additional service dashboards, such as ones for Kafka, HAProxy, Redis, and MCRouter, in the coming weeks. If any of these are available to you, they’ll be listed on the main dashboards page. These service dashboards are automatically available to users when they configure their account to collect metrics from the associated integration. Currently, these include Linux hosts, Circonus Unified Agent (CUA), MySQL, PostgreSQL, Nginx, Kubernetes, Memcached, Apache, ZFS, Windows, and RabbitMQ. We also now offer service dashboards for some of our most popular integrations. Dashboard sharing will also be possible with public, non-Circonus viewers. Visualization types will be joined by comparison, status, histogram, histogram heatmap, and image in the near future. Read our previous post for more details on using the new builder. As you work on your new dashboard, you’ll notice that the dashboard builder will incrementally save your work. Once a section has been added, click on each “widgetable area” or cell to select and configure a type of visualization.Ĭurrently, visualization types include metric trends, single metric, tilemap, and list. Next, you can begin populating a given tab by clicking the “Add Section” button in the upper right. Here, you may first want to rename your dashboard and create your desired dashboard tabs. Then, click the “Create” button in the upper right (clicking on the “Create” button arrow offers the option to create a legacy dashboard). To start creating a dashboard with the new builder, first navigate to the main dashboards page. How to Start Using the New Dashboard Builder As of this month, the dashboard builder, which was previously only accessible internally, is now available to all Circonus customers.

The new dashboard builder provides a vastly improved user experience, enabling users to create dashboards in a fraction of the time it took them previously. We recently announced the development of our new dashboard builder and associated release of several new turnkey service dashboards.
