You can specify cloud services, resources, and namespaces to use the default template, and then create a business dashboard. After you create a business dashboard, you can change metrics and modify monitoring charts based on your business requirements.
Prerequisites
A namespace is created. For more information, see Create a namespace.
Background information
After a business dashboard is created, the metrics of all Alibaba Cloud services in the dashboard are automatically imported. A metric import task for the specified Alibaba Cloud services is automatically created on the Alibaba Cloud Service Metrics tab of the namespace. If you have created a metric import task for the specified Alibaba Cloud services before you create the business dashboard, the monitoring data is automatically merged. You can view the monitoring data on the dashboard only after the metrics are imported into the namespace.

In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Dashboards tab, click Create Dashboard in the upper-left corner.
In the Create Dashboard panel, click the Business Dashboard tab.
