Simple Log Service provides dashboards as a visualization tool to display query and analysis results in charts, such as column charts, line charts, and pie charts. You can use dashboards to monitor the status of systems, applications, and services. This topic describes the concept and scenarios of dashboards.
Introduction to dashboards
Dashboards are used to display query and analysis results in charts, such as column charts, line charts, and pie charts. Each dashboard consists of one or more charts. Each chart displays the query and analysis results of one or more query statements. When you open or refresh a dashboard, a query operation is automatically performed for each chart on the dashboard.
You can use dashboards to monitor key observable metrics, detect anomalies in metrics, and identify the root causes of the anomalies. You can share dashboard pages with other users in password-free mode. This helps improve communication efficiency between teams and resolve issues in collaboration.
Scenarios
Real-time monitoring and visualization
You can convert complex log data, event data, and other monitoring data to charts and chart elements displayed on dashboards. This way, you can monitor the status of systems and applications and security events in real time.
Quick detection of abnormal metrics
You can detect abnormal behavior of key metrics on a dashboard, such as a reduced success rate and insufficient resources, based on the thresholds and alert rules that you configure. You can also identify abnormal metrics in an efficient manner based on historical comparison and multi-dimensional analysis. This improves the stability and response speed of systems and services.
Identify the root causes of anomalies
When an anomaly is detected on a dashboard, you can configure an interaction occurrence to associate charts on the dashboard with multiple data sources such as logs, metrics, and traces. This helps analyze the root cause of the anomaly.
Password-free sharing and integration of dashboard pages
Simple Log Service allows you to share dashboard pages with other users and integrate dashboard pages into third-party systems. This way, users can view the dashboard pages in password-free mode.
