Create dashboard
When creating a new dashboard, you have the option to customize it to your specific needs.
- Name: This is a required field where you need to provide a name for the dashboard you are creating.
- Refresh time in seconds: This option allows you to set the time interval (in seconds) after which the dashboard will automatically refresh with updated data.
- Default: This option indicates that the dashboard you are creating will be set as the default dashboard, which means it will be the initial dashboard displayed when you log in to your LoadGen End-to-End Monitoring Cloud environment.
- Master: The "Master" option enables you to create a master dashboard, which serves as a centralized template or control panel. The master dashboard is designed to be visually customized, and any changes made to it will automatically reflect on all linked child dashboards. It allows you to define the layout and visualizations that will be shared across all the associated child dashboards.
- Child: The "Child" option allows you to create child dashboards that are linked to a master dashboard. Child dashboards inherit the layout and visualizations from the master dashboard, but they can have their own specific queries to display distinct information. This flexibility allows you to present specific data to end-users based on the query settings. Child dashboards provide a way to filter and display relevant information, while still benefiting from the changes made to the master dashboard.
- Select master dashboard: This option appears when creating a child dashboard and allows you to choose the master dashboard to which it will be linked.
