A dashboard is a visualization tool that provides a centralized view of information, such as metrics, data trends, and monitoring status. You can associate an entity with a dashboard by adding RunbookSet and RunbookLink nodes. This association creates a visualization dashboard that you can use to analyze the entity's configuration and quickly understand its details.
