About Management Dashboard

Management Dashboard allows you to build performance monitoring, diagnosis and data analysis solutions on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform, infrastructure, and application resources. It has powerful data visualization options that gather real-time and historic data and display it in widgets.

The Management Dashboard visualization framework provides a quick insight into the health and performance of your resources. The visual representation of information in a dashboard makes the information easy to interpret and helps identify outliers, isolate issues and take corrective action.

Management Dashboard is available as part of the following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Observability & Management services:

  • Application Performance Monitoring
  • Database Management
  • Logging Analytics
  • Management Agent
  • Operations Insights

For each Observability & Management service that it supports, Management Dashboard provides:

  • Oracle-defined dashboards, widgets, and filters that cover many common resource-monitoring scenarios.
  • Ability to create custom dashboards and widgets that meet your specific requirements.

As you work with Management Dashboard, here are some of the common terms that you will come across:

  • Dashboards: Data visualization tools that gather real-time data from the various tiers of an application or other monitored resource, and display it in widgets.
  • Widgets: Single data visualization for one type of resource, which allow you to display data in various presentation styles. The primary role of a widget is to display monitoring data in a form useful to you.
  • Filters: Data perspectives that can be applied to narrow down the results displayed in a single widget or multiple widgets.

The Management Dashboard documentation provides generic information regarding its features. For specific information on how to use dashboards for the Observability & Management services it supports, see service documentation:
