Dashboards
Outlyer dashboards provide a real-time interactive way to track, analyze and troubleshoot your applications, hosts, containers, and services by displaying metrics collected from different data sources in a variety of visualizations, all in a single place.
You can easily drag and drop widgets, filter metrics by scope, select time ranges to explore historical metrics for over a year, import and export dashboards, share public dashboards with your team, and much more.
By clicking the Dashboards icon on the left menu in Outlyer, the list of installed dashboards in your account is shown:
