Envision your data as a complex system of roads: you need to navigate the signs and signals along the way to quickly see and make meaning of the information you collect. New Relic's dashboards gather and chart the specific data you want to see, the way you want to see it, from anywhere in the New Relic platform.
Why it matters
With our dashboards you can customize and understand the data you collect. Explore your data and correlate connected sources with tailored, user-friendly charts, and quickly learn the state of your system and applications for faster, more efficient troubleshooting.
Use dashboards to:
Drive insight with custom, high-density interactive visualizations with a consistent UI.
Chart all the events and attributes from everywhere across our platform. For more information, see Data collection.
Add custom attributes or send custom event types to most events in order to better understand your business, and see specific details about how your customers interact with your platform, such as page views, host transactions, etc.
To access dashboards, go to one.newrelic.com and click on Dashboards on the top navigation menu.
In the dashboards index, you can view all the dashboards and data apps associated with your New Relic account.
From the top bar, quickly access our explorer as well as all New Relic capabilities, such as APM, browser monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, logs, or applied intelligence. You can also use the core New Relic features such as Search or Query your data that are available across the platform.
For each dashboard, the index displays the following information:
You can easily create a dashboard in the New Relic UI from the dashboards index by selecting the + Create a dashboard button located at the top-right corner of the dashboards index.
Name your dashboard. Names are searchable, so we recommend giving it a meaningful name (your service or application, for instance) using words that will help you locate your dashboard easily.
Select the account the dashboard belongs to. Choose carefully because this action cannot be modified.
Press Create to continue, or Cancel to return to the index.
팁
By default a dashboard is created with Public - Read and write permissions. You can edit them from the settings menu once you access the dashboard.
Alternatively, you can also create a new dashboard:
Duplicate any dashboard by clicking the Duplicate dashboard button that appears when you hover over any dashboard row in the index. You can duplicate any dashboard regardless of your permission levels.
The dashboard is automatically copied and the duplicate is added to the index. Access the new dashboard by clicking on the message that pops up on your screen.
The duplicated dashboard is named like the original dashboard followed by the word "copy". For example, if you duplicate a dashboard named this is my dashboard, the duplicate will be created as this is my dashboard copy. The duplicate has Public - Read and write permissions.
You can edit the name and other properties of the dashboard, like the permissions, at any time.
팁
The index displays dashboards according to sorting. To quickly find your duplicated dashboard, sort the dashboards by creation date. The new dashboard appears on top.
To delete a dashboard, hover over the dashboard row at the index until the Delete button appears. You can only delete a dashboard if you created it, or if it has Public - Read and write permissions. For more information, see the permissions information.
You can also delete a dashboard from the settings panel of the dashboard.
Clicking the star icon next to a dashboard toggles on or off the favorites. When you favorite a dashboard, it’s grouped with other favorite dashboards at the top of the list, and appears on the New Relic home page.
To remove a dashboard from your favorites, select the star icon again.
You can search dashboards by dashboard name and author using the search box above the index.
You can also sort the dashboards in the index. By default, dashboards you edited recently are at the top of the index in both the favorited and non-favorited sections. To change this order, you can sort both sections by any of the columns in the index, your most recent sort is displayed next time you access New Relic.
Dashboard permissions
Dashboards have three types of permissions:
Public - Read and write: All users have full rights to the dashboard.
Public - Read only: All users are able to see the dashboard, but only you have full rights to work with the dashboard. Other users can access the dashboard but are not able to edit or delete it, although they can duplicate it.
Private: Only you can see the dashboard. Everything but the metadata is hidden.
When you create a dashboard using the Create a dashboard button or by duplicating another dashboard, it will have Public - Read and write rights by default. Access the new dashboard to change this setting.
Organize your dashboards with tags
You can add tags using our NerdGraph, our tagging API.
You can also filter your dashboards by tags, which you can use to identify users, accounts, locations, etc. Click on the tag filter to see the available tags, you can easily select one or more tags from the list to narrow down the dashboards in the index.
Key visual tools
Dashboards offer intuitive visualization features and tools for advanced data exploration and fast troubleshooting.
So that you can quickly see and correlate your data, facets that you apply to more than one chart in a dashboard have a consistent facet color across all the charts.
When you mouse over one chart, the correlated needle overlays across all charts or data points in the dashboard at the same time. The tooltip provides the relevant data points from the selected facet, such as maximum and minimum values in a line chart. It also highlights the selected attribute in a pie chart.
The chart scrubber helps you select a data point or facet in a chart when the chart is too crowded and facets are too close to each other.
Mouse along the needle to smoothly select the adjacent facets and view their associated data points. You can also lighten a heavily populated chart by unselecting one or more of the attributes that appear in the UI.
Drag to select a time segment on any chart and you automatically zoom to that time period on all the charts in the dashboard.
The time picker reflects the new period on display in the dashboard. You can return to the default or any other time settings at any time.
