Dashboards

Dashboards let you assemble your own views from saved queries — a grid of widgets you arrange, share, and reuse. They're the place for the views you care about that the built-in pages don't already cover.

Widgets

Each widget references a saved query plus a visualization type (time series, table, single value, or bar). Build the query in the Query Explorer, save it, then drop it on a dashboard. A widget can override its query's filters and viz options.

The grid

Dashboards use a 12-column grid. In edit mode you drag widgets to reposition them and drag their edges to resize. In view mode the layout is fixed and the data refreshes on its own.

Time range

A global dashboard time-range picker overrides the window of every widget at once. Any widget can opt out with a "Use own time range" toggle, so you can pin one panel to a fixed window while the rest follow the picker.

Versioning

Every save creates a new version. You can browse the history and revert to any earlier version, so experiments are safe — nothing is lost.

Sharing and display

  • Share a dashboard with a team or your whole organization. Viewers see what's shared; editors can clone and modify.
  • Fullscreen mode and an embed mode (?embed=true, which strips the navigation) make a dashboard suitable for a wall display or TV. Auto-refresh keeps it current without interaction.
