Dashboards and charts
The charts in the different dashboards provide information about the metrics, usage, and performance of the application. Some of the existing dashboards and charts are enhanced to have a better usability.
Application Server Performance
The Application Server Performance dashboard contains six charts.
In this dashboard, you can view information about the server response time and request throughput, error count, and REST API responses.
The following table lists the names of the charts and their descriptions:
