Global Options
Global options control the fundamentals of your customized dashboard, and determine which checks will appear. You can further customize the look and feel in subsequent tabs. The Global section determines which checks your dashboard will display.
Dashboard Name
The displayed name for a dashboard.
Include all present or future checks with any of the selected tags. Learn more about creating and managing tags to group checks together.
Include checks from a list you create from a pool of all checks within your account. Tip: You can manually select checks in addition to the checks you’ve selected by tag.
These options toggle which checks will appear in your customized Dashboard. Your options are as follows:
- Up
- Down
- Paused
- Under Maintenance
A tick mark indicates you wish to include checks that fall under these categories. By default, paused checks are not selected and not shown on your customized dashboard.
Metric Summary
The Metric Summary section can be hidden to emphasize individual check cards if desired.
You can also select which metrics are shown in this section, toggling between all checks in your account or the checks you selected in the Global Options tab.
These options determine the display order and number of check cards a customized dashboard will display. Users can display a maximum of 20 check cards, with a primary and secondary sort order to determine in what order checks should appear.
Show/hide the check cards from this dashboard.
Select the number of check cards to show in the Checks section. Tip: Add up to 20 check cards to allow up to 20 individual check cards to auto refresh statistics.
Users can select a primary and secondary sorting order to determine how check cards appear within the customized dashboard. Options include:
- Check Name
- Check Domain
- Date Created (latest)
- Up/Down State
- Last Alert Date
- 1hr Response Time (slowest)
Changing these options will arrange checks according to the primary value, with the secondary value determining how to display checks that have the same primary value.
Tip: The default values of Up/Down State as the primary and Last Alert Date as the secondary sort order will show you recent outage cards at the top of the list, with checks that have most recently experienced an alert as the secondary sort value.
Alerts
This tab allows you to customize how Latest Alerts are displayed, creating a customized list of latest alerts that exclude irrelevant information. If you need to exclude alerts that you triggered for testing, or you want to hide specific alerts based on certain criteria, check this tab.
Use this option to toggle the display of the Latest Alerts.
Include alerts from all checks, not just the selected checks.
Include/exclude alerts marked as “ignored” or under maintenance in the Latest Alerts listing.
Include or exclude alerts that are no longer down in the alert listing.
A maximum of 15 Latest Alerts can be shown, with a minimum of 5.
