Dashboard Features
Fast Global Metrics: 15-min cached 24hr Global Uptime value, and 15-min global response times. Response time metrics are also color coded based on the duration of downtime.
Check Cards: Check cards contain response time metrics depending on check type. Certain checks, such as SSL and Malware/Blacklist, do not display response time. Each card is sorted by down state, then by duration of downtime by default. Click Show More Checks to see up to 4 additional check cards. Loading more checks affects Auto-Refresh Rate (see below).
Checks Data: Quickly determine how many checks are running, how many are down, the ratio of uptime for the past 24 hours, and the average response time for all checks.
Alerts: View the Latest Events that caused an alert, and check the status of any downtime with short summaries and access to more detailed reporting. The customizable dashboard allows you to change how these alerts are displayed. See more options below.
Auto-Refresh Rate: Set the intervals at which Dashboard data will auto refresh with the auto-refresh icon. Data refresh ranges are from 2 to 60 minutes, with the option to refresh now. Please note: auto-refresh is paused when you Show More checks.

Metrics Summary
Show Metrics Summary section: check this option to display metrics cards at the top of the dashboard. These metrics show the checks, outages, average response time, and other statistics associated with the dashboard. Hide this section to emphasize individual check cards if desired.

Click checks in the Checks Available list on the left to add them to the Checks Selected list on the right. You can also search by check name or filter by type and tag. Once all checks are selected, click Back to Content.

- Any Tag: if a check matches any of the tags selected, it will be included in the Dashboard
- All Tags: a check must match all the selected tags to be included in the Dashboard
Check Cards
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 Check cards: when this option is selected, the checks associated with the Dashboard will appear as cards with a quick summary of their status and uptime statistics
Include checks in state: these options toggle which checks will appear in your customized Dashboard based on their current state. Your options are as follows:
- Up
- Down
- Paused
- Maintenance
A tick mark indicates you wish to include checks that fall under these status categories. By default, paused checks are not selected and not shown on your customized dashboard.
Min cards to display: set the minimum number of cards to be displayed, dependent on the number of checks added to the Dashboard
Display on cards: set options for the metrics that will be displayed on cards
- Uptime (24h): the uptime percentage over the last 24 hours
- Response Time (24h): the average response time over the last 24 hours
Primary and Secondary sort order: 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 first)
- State (Down, up, paused)
- Alert Date (latest first)
- 1hr Response Time (slowest first)
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 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.
