On this page you can see a list of your dashboard templates, create a new one, edit or delete the existing ones.

Default Dashboard

Each agent has a tag for its type. For example, when an agent has the server tag, a dashboard template named "Dashboard server" with the server tag is created. This dashboard is a “system dashboard”; you can modify it in the dashboard templates list.

If you modify the default dashboard, all your agents with the server tag will have their dashboard modified.

Create Dashboard Template

To create a dashboard template, you can choose a template layout to create widgets by default or use a blank layout. Each template layout is used to auto-generate a dashboard for each agent type.

If you create a dashboard template without a tag, it will appear in the list of dashboards for every agent’s details. But if you choose a tag, the dashboard will be displayed only on agents that have this tag.

In a widget, PromQL queries should use $INSTANCE_UUID instead of a specific instance. Example:

avg_over_time(mem_used{instance_uuid="$INSTANCE_UUID"}[$__interval])

$INSTANCE_UUID is replaced automatically by the agent UUID.

Tags

You can add tags to a dashboard template. If an agent has one of these tags, the dashboard will be displayed in the agent view.

If my agent has the tags Linux and Docker and I add the tag Linux to the dashboard template, this dashboard will be displayed in the agent view.

Edit Dashboard Template

You can click on the edit icon to edit the widget.

If you want to edit a widget of an automatically created dashboard template, you will see multiple PromQL queries, one for each OS (Linux, Windows, and macOS); only the PromQL that returns data will be displayed.

Clone Dashboard

You can click on the clone icon to clone the dashboard. Dashboard cloning works on dashboards and dashboard templates. This creates an identical dashboard by adding copy at the end of the dashboard name.

Reset Dashboard

You can click on the reset icon to reset the dashboard. Dashboard reset only works on dashboard templates. For example, if a dashboard was created with a server template layout and a user modified widgets in this dashboard, it’s possible to reset the dashboard to recreate the template layout widgets.
