Dashboards

You can use dashboards to collate multiple charts, which are created during problem diagnosis, on a single user interface (UI).

For example, imagine an organization uses IBM® Operations Analytics Log Analysis to monitor all the server logs that it generates. The system administrator wants to be able to view the most critical errors, the highest severity errors, and the total number of errors on a single UI. To facilitate this scenario, you create a dashboard that is called System Admin and you add the charts that show the required information to it.

The data that is displayed on the dashboards is based on charts. For more information, see the Charts topic under Custom Search Dashboard > Steps to create a Custom Search Dashboard > Application files in the Extending IBM Operations Analytics Log Analysis section.
