Built-in dashboards
Monitor services and identify patterns and outliers using built-in dashboards in Splunk Observability Cloud. Learn how to clone or export dashboards.
Splunk Observability Cloud provides built-in dashboards that give you immediate visibility into the technologies and services being used in your environment.
Built-in dashboards and the charts they contain are read-only. They are automatically created in your organization when you deploy any of the supported integrations, and they appear in:
-
The Built-In Dashboard Groups section of the Dashboards page.
-
The Dashboard section of the navigators in Infrastructure Monitoring.
Built-in dashboards are optimized for monitoring populations as well as individual nodes. For each technology or service, Splunk Observability Cloud uses aggregations, percentiles, or Top N analytics functions to let you see patterns and identify outliers, and also provide individual metrics for insight into the functioning of single nodes.
