There is also a limit on the number of data points displayed by a given series. If you happen to reach either threshold, a note will be displayed so that you can better refine your metric selection.
#DASHBOARD BUILDER SERIES#
It should be noted that since queries can return vast amounts of data, the number of series that can be returned by a given query are capped, as are the number of series that can be aggregated. Other widget options rely on the category of widget selected. A label and data operation (e.g., mean, sum, mean by tag, sum by tag) can also be specified (the label is used to label the data streams if a data operation hasn’t been selected).
Once a metric query has been assigned to a widget, you can specify a data formula, which is used to transform the base data before it’s used, as well as a display formula, which is used to format the data values when they’re displayed for human readability. You can also specify units for the query and save the query for use across multiple widgets. Metrics can also be added using our advanced search syntax or the Circonus Analytics Query Language (CAQL).īelow the query, the transform option lets you apply “average”, “counter”, or “derive” to the returned series. To assist in metric selection, the modal provides a query builder identical to that of our Metrics Explorer. Here, you can select the metrics to depict and also configure various options related to that widget. Once you select a visualization type, you’ll then see a modal where you can edit the widget. Other widget types, such as comparison, status, histogram, histogram heatmap, and image, will be added in the future. Currently, these include metric trends, single metric, tilemap, and list. From the “Add New Widget” modal that appears, you can select from various types of visualizations. To add a widget to a section, click on each “widgetable area” or cell. Sections can also be rearranged by grabbing them on the top and dragging and dropping them higher or lower on the page. Once added, sections can be cloned or deleted using the icons in the upper right corner of the section. Choose from a variety of section layouts, including one to six equal width columns or layouts with a right or left sidebar. Next, you can begin populating a given tab by clicking the “Add Section” button in the upper right. You can also grab a tab on the left hand side to drag and drop it within another location within the tabs. Click “+ Add Tab” to add another tab.Ĭlick the arrow to the right of the tab name to rename, clone, or delete it. You may also want to create your desired dashboard tabs. Then hit the “Enter” key or click elsewhere on the page when finished. Once within the builder, you can rename your dashboard by clicking on the dashboard name. You can also return to the builder from the dashboards overview page by locating the dashboard you’d like to edit, clicking the arrow to the right of its “View” button, and selecting “Edit Dashboard.” Edit a Custom Dashboard’s Name Just click the “Menu” button in the top right and select “Edit Dashboard” while you’re viewing it. Once you exit the builder, you can return to it at any later time. You can safely exit at any point and your work will be saved. You’ll occasionally see text saying “Just saved” to the right of the “Exit” button. To exit the Dashboard Builder, simply click the “Exit” button in the top left.Ĭhanges made within the builder are automatically saved as they occur. The Dashboard Builder provides an immersive experience, meaning standard navigation within Circonus will be hidden. Then, click the “Create” button in the upper right.ĭirectly after creating a custom dashboard, you will be within the Dashboard Builder. To start creating a dashboard with the builder, first navigate to “Dashboards” within the main navigation. They will not be able to create, edit, or manage them. Please note that Circonus users with “read-only” status will only be able to view custom dashboards.
The Circonus Dashboard Builder lets you easily create and share customized dashboards with your team.
