Building a dashboard
The Dashboards page is where you assemble per-team or per-incident layouts of charts and tables. The list shows every dashboard with its title, optional description, and widget count. Click a card to open the dashboard.
Two ways to start
Two buttons top-right:
- K8s overview template — instantly creates a new dashboard pre-populated with 11 widgets covering pod health, node CPU/memory, top restarts, and recent errors. Best starting point.
- Create Dashboard — opens an empty dashboard so you can add widgets one by one.
Each card has a Delete trash icon. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone — there is no confirmation dialog, so double-check before clicking.
Inside an empty dashboard
A new dashboard opens ready for you to add widgets by hand:
- Build it — drag-and-drop widgets manually. This is how you build a dashboard.
Click Build it and an action bar appears at the bottom: + Add Widget, Cancel, Save.

When viewing or editing a dashboard:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Back arrow | Returns to the dashboards list. |
| Title | The dashboard name (click to rename when in edit mode). |
| Scope filters | Dashboard-level dropdowns (e.g., namespace: all, deployment: all) that scope every widget below. |
| Time picker | Last 15m / 1h / 6h / 24h / 7d. Applies to every widget that "Inherits dashboard" time range. |
| Auto-refresh | Off / 10s / 30s / 1m / 5m / 15m. Re-runs every widget on the cadence. |
| Edit | Toggle edit mode (move/resize/delete widgets). |
Editing widgets
In edit mode, each widget gets:
- A drag handle to move it.
- A resize handle on the corner.
- A trash icon to remove it.
Click + Add Widget in the bottom action bar to open the widget config modal. See Widget types and configuration.
Click Save to persist. Cancel discards your changes since the last save.
Sharing
The dashboard URL contains its UUID. Anyone in the org with view permission on Dashboards can open the URL.
Time range and scope filters live in the URL too — copy the URL after picking a time/filter to share a specific view.
