Set Up a Cross-region Dashboard

You can set the Region input when creating or customizing a dashboard to display data for resources in different regions within a single dashboard.

By default, widgets in a dashboard respond to the top-level region selected in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console. However, using the Oracle-defined Region filter, you can add widgets that display data from different regions within a single dashboard. You can use this filter in various scenarios, for example, in Database Management, you can display the same metric, such as Average Active Sessions, for two different databases in different regions in a single dashboard.
Note

This feature can only be used for widgets that have the Region input parameter.

To set up a cross-region dashboard:

  1. Go to the Dashboards page in the Observability & Management service.
  2. Click Create dashboard to create a new dashboard to which you want to add the widgets with data from different regions. Alternatively, if you want to add a new widget to an existing dashboard, then click the name of the dashboard to open it, click Actions in the upper-right corner, and then click Edit.
  3. On the Widgets tab, click or drag and drop the Oracle-defined widget to add it to the dashboard or create custom widgets. For information on how to add widgets, see step 5 in Create a Custom Dashboard.
  4. Click the Actions icon (Actions) on the widget and click Edit.
    The configuration details of the widget are displayed on the Widgets tab.
  5. In the Configured widget inputs section of the widget, click the Edit icon (Edit) adjacent to the Region input, which is linked to the top-level console region by default.
    The Configure region input for <name of widget> (optional) dialog box is displayed.
  6. Specify the region you want to use for the widget. You can either add a region filter to make it dynamic or select the Specify the region input option and select a fixed (static) region value from the drop-down list for the widget.
