Add custom visualizations to your dashboards

You can build your own visualizations and add them to a dashboard. This gives you great flexibility around what you display on dashboards, from a company logo to custom queries from any data source.

If you have full user permissions, which include the Nerdpack manager role, you can add a visualization to a dashboard as described in the following section. The process for creating a visualization is covered in the guide, Build a custom visualization for dashboards.

Add a visualization to a dashboard

You can add a visualization to a new or existing dashboard.

1. From New Relic, in the top right, click the Apps button, and then on the Apps page, click Custom Visualizations. Hint: if you don't see the Custom Visualizations tile, use the search to locate it.
2. In Custom Visualizations, select the visualization you want to add to a dashboard and then enable it.
3. If there are configuration options, fill those in. The visualization will update with your changes.
4. Click Add to dashboard and then select a dashboard from the list of available dashboards, or select New dashboard.
   If you decide to create a new dashboard, select the account where you want to run the dashboard, and give the dashboard a name.
5. Click Add to dashboard, then click the link to your dashboard to see the custom visualization.

Manage your dashboard visualizations

Deleting: To remove a visualization from a dashboard, click the ellipses button in the right-hand corner of the visualization and click delete.

Editing: If your visualization needs some tweaking, delete the visualization, then follow the steps above to re-add the visualization, making any updates in Custom Visualizations.
