Dashboards

The Top IT Dashboards You Should Be Using

Technology has evolved the critical need for accessing real-time applications such as cloud-collaboration, VoIP and video conferencing from anywhere in the world. CIOs who prioritize around the clock performance and availability for cloud-based productivity tools, have an opportunity to deliver more value and can give their business a competitive edge. IT dashboards are a critical tool in enabling productivity. However, one of the biggest challenges that IT leaders face is to integrate data from multiple business systems that are already in place, both on-premise and in cloud solutions.

Add context to your dashboards from SQL data sources New SQL tile: Line graph

Monitoring information that matters to you will often come from disparate sources – whether you are a server engineer, a SQL database administrator, or an application owner wanting a 360 view of your applications’ health. For example, you may want to visualise your server metrics from SCOM alongside historical trends from the SCOM Data Warehouse.

Introducing composite charts and Metric Correlations

We're really excited about supercharging Netdata Cloud's infrastructure monitoring experience with composite charts. These charts look just like the ones you're familiar with, but feature real-time, per-second aggregated metrics from any number of distributed nodes from across your infrastructure. You can still pan, zoom, and highlight to your heart's content while also changing the aggregate function, filtering nodes, or jumping straight into single-node dashboards for root cause analysis.

Grafana v7.3 has been released! With Grafana 7.0, we rounded out our observability story by making tracing a first-class citizen in Grafana alongside metrics and logs. That release included integrations with Jaeger and Zipkin, and earlier this month, we announced our integration with AWS X-Ray.

Netdata's dashboard: open by default and secure by design

Let’s talk through a scenario: You have a Linux-based VM running on DigitalOcean (aka a Droplet), and you install Netdata on it using our recommended kickstart script. As the installation process winds down, the Droplet starts up the Netdata Agent’s web server and serves the local Agent web dashboard on port 19999.
