A custom dashboard enables you to display a specific set of metrics and data points on one screen. You can display application, server, and database metrics reported by Splunk AppDynamics agents. You can also supplement the built-in dashboards (such as the application dashboard, tier dashboard, and so on) and display metrics that are of interest to a particular audience.

You can use custom dashboards to present selected metrics for a user who only needs a relatively narrow or focused view of the data. For example, an executive may only need a high-level view of system performance and activity. You can assign such users to the predefined Custom Dashboard Viewer role. Any user with a custom dashboard viewer role can view custom dashboards.

Instead of using the Custom Dashboard Viewer role, you can share a custom dashboard.

You can use Controller-level custom dashboards to:

• Provide a customized view of application, server, and database performance data.
• Aggregate data from different applications on the same Controller
• Compare data from different applications on the same Controller
• Show a single view of both live and historical data
• Share data with other users and stakeholders
