Custom Dashboard Templates

Custom dashboard templates are an efficient way to display the same type of information for multiple tiers or nodes. You create a dashboard in the scope of a tier or node and then use that dashboard as a template to display the same type of data for other tiers or nodes in the same application. Associating the template with a specific tier or node sets the source of the dashboard's data.
Attention: To create or edit a custom dashboard template, a user needs to have the Configure 'My Dashboards' for Tiers and Nodes permission.
Create a custom dashboard template to:
  • Compare overall application or infrastructure performance against individual tier or node performance
  • Show a standard set of metrics for multiple tiers and nodes

You create and access dashboard templates from the My Dashboards tab of the built-in tier or node dashboard. From there, you can create a new dashboard template for that tier/node or use dashboard templates that were created for other tiers/nodes in the same application by association.

Although the process for configuring Controller-level and tier or node-level dashboard templates is similar, the two sets of dashboards are separate. In other words, you cannot associate a Controller-level dashboard with a tier/node through the My Dashboards tab, nor can you access from the Controller-level dashboards list any tier and node level dashboards outside the application in which they were created.

The dashboard and template names must be unique Controller-wide. You cannot create a custom dashboard using an existing dashboard template name, nor can you create a dashboard template using an existing custom dashboard name.

You can export custom dashboards and dashboard templates to a JSON file and then import them where you need them.
