We built a dashboard using the API to get our availability stats on a single page for the executives but it would be nice to be able to do things like this out of the box, I'm sure many customers would love to have this kind of option without having to build from scratch...

Thanks for bringing this up Fransisco, I sure this will be useful. 

>>"Another thing that would make the dashboards better would be to make them dynamic.

We have options to choose based on the display screen size. It is not dynamic though. But yes, dynamic adjustment is something that will make it cleaner.  We will see how we can do it.

Thanks for the suggestions and keep posting as you find something that is going to help us all.

Regarding custom reports:

"Custom report will be in two formats, tabular and graphical. Tabular version is in development stage. I have attached screenshots. Also attached design prototype for custom graphical report."

Can you say a date when the graphic version will be available? We need this feature to compare websites please.

Hi Patrik,

 What we showed you is the initial prototype which we did. We have come a long way and workflows have also changed for good. I understand your use case and what you expect. We are discussing this internally as well. We are covering important features phase by phase and the use cases you have mentioned are also part of it. We will let you know once we are getting it out. Please bear with us. 

Was this project abandoned?

Site 24x7 Does alot right in comparison to other solutions, but when you dig deeper it can leave alot to be desired.  even the simple ability to have the exact same NOC view, but with a shareable link and the ability to customize based on monitor groups would be fantastic. 

Thanks,

Drew

We will also try this feature please!?

Regards

Patrik

Sure Patrik, will include you as well.

This looks awesome so far!  

the only thing we would like to see is the ability under Current status, to have an option to filter by trouble or down, we have so many websites that when you include "all" in the current status, that no text shows up on the monitor because each node is so small, so its easier to view it by what is down/in trouble.  

Thanks,

Can we be added to the beta list so that we can try out these new features.

Thanks

Hi Drew,

  Thanks for the positive feedback. Ok, so from what I can understand you want the same options as in NOC view to filter out monitors based on Status. This can be given.

-Jasper

Jasper,

Yes! this would be perfect, Thank you

Please add us to the beta for Custom Dashboards, if possible. Thank you.

please add me to the beta of Custom Dashboard also.

I also would like to be included in the Beta. This has been a very awaited feature for us.

Regards,

Tommy

Are there any plans to allow for more meaningful urls for dashboards instead of that long random generated URL?

Something like https://www.site24x7.com/public/dashboard/<name_of_dashboard>

Also,

For the Current Status, can it have the option to pick individual monitors instead of just an entire group?

As well, can we get the option to show the name above the colored box and the current availability inside the box?

I'd like to get added to this beta. I'm just evaluating the app right now as a switch from datadog and this functionality is a deal breaker for my company

Another thing that would make the dashboards better would be to make them dynamic.

The wider the screen, the more widgets can fit horizontally.

Thanks very much for implementing this great feature! It will eventually make dashboard tools like Geckoboard unnecessary!

For reference, here is our current beta dashboard:

As you can see, we're only using Current Status widgets. We're wondering if you can please...

• Allow the title font of the dashboard to be much bigger. The text is almost unreadable on most screens.
• Allow the title font of each widget to be much bigger. The text is almost unreadable on most screens.
• For current status widgets, make the status box show an up-arrow or down-arrow (see below). This will make the dashboard more clear ? the faint, light green/red boxes currently being used are too subtle.      
• When a monitor goes down, display the full name of the down monitor someplace in the widget (maybe directly below the status box?). At present, you must interactively mouse-over the status box in order to find out what monitor is down. This is not good for dashboards where there is no keyboard/mouse.
• Wish list item for the future: Ability to layout the dashboard in a more configurable, intuitive manner. For instance, we would love our dashboard to look more like a network diagram ? a bit like the ?Business View? layout.

Thanks for the nice compliments and your detailed feedback.

Yes, our intent is to make sure you do not need any other dashboard product for you monitoring needs.. !

As for the bigger fonts, we will work on making it bigger and may be configurable. I also understand why you need the monitor name, we will think of a way to make it intuitive. Making the layout configurable is a nice option to have too, we'll see how it can be done.

Keep the suggestions coming...

"I also understand why you need the monitor name, we will think of a way to make it intuitive."

Would be nice to also have the current month's availability in the status box along with the name, like in my API example higher up the chain.

Hi Team,

Is it possible to get beta access for custom dashboards on our account?

Regards,

Alan.

Hi Patrik,

  I hope the dashboards are working now.

-Jasper

Hi could you enable this beta feature also for us?

Hello Folks,

We're happy to convey that the Custom Dashboards feature is now generally available. Please read our detailed community post and help documentation to learn more about Custom Dashboards feature.

Do share your valuable feedback on the feature.

Thanks, 

Abhiram

Another question I have is, why are the new custom dashboards only setup as public once I set them to shareable?

www.site24x7.com/public/dashboard/<121-charachter-string>

Does this mean that the dashboard is accessible outside our network? Like, can anyone on the internet see these dashboards?

Also, does the betaclient.site24x7.com/ url not work anymore? It just takes me back to the regular client...

Hi framirez,

Anyone, who have been shared with the URL, can access the public dashboard. As the feature has been released for all, we are redirecting betaclient to live site. 

Thillai.

Hello,

We're happy to announce that we've now extended support for Custom Dashboards to our MSP Plan users. With this enhancement, MSPs can now build powerful and flexible dashboards within the MSP Control Panel and gain a holistic view into the different tiers of their customers' infrastructure.

By pinning dynamic metric widgets onto a common Dashboard grid, MSPs can closely track all parameters and metrics that are critical to their customers' business--from a unified console. To learn more about the usage of Custom Dashboards within MSP Control Panel, please read our User Documentation.

Thanks,

Abhiram

Thilli,

Anyone, who have been shared with the URL, can access the public dashboard.

I did not understand your comment.

My note that started this: (www.site24x7.com/community/shorter-more-meaningful-urls-for-dashboards).

There should be an option to share things internally or externally. Internally shared items are allowed only to people that have a user account in our plan and externally accessible would be available to the world.

An awesome feature to have would be to allow more than 24 widgets.

For example, we have one group that has 7 monitors in it and we are looking to create a dashboard for the group that has 4 widgets per monitor.

Hi Framirez,

    We are considering increasing the widgets. In the mean time, have you tried our Multi-monitor charts? Not sure what you have in the group (If can share the usecase if you want to) but as a quick workaround you can try and combine different monitors into a single widget. 

BTW, we are bringing multi-location widgets in the next update.

-Jasper

Hello,

We've some new set of enhancements out for our Custom Dashboards. Here are the major updates:

1. You can now add up to 100 custom dashboards in your account. Previously the upper dashboard limit was set at 20.
2. We've also included the ability to add location-based performance widgets (such as, DNS time by location report, Download Time by Location Report, SSL Handshake Time by Location report etc.) under multi-monitor performance widget category and a few more performance attribute charts that are applicable to the corresponding monitor type. These widgets have been provided under the Performance widgets already.

To add these widgets, you must access your dashboard > Edit Dashboard > Select Widget Category > Specify Multi-monitor performance widgets > Drag and drop your attribute-level widget onto the dashboard editor.

Please share your valuable feedback.

Regards,

Abhiram

Hello,

We've added an all new—Top N Widget to the Custom Dashboard. The Top N Widget shows the Top 5, 10, 20, or 25 monitors (of a selected type) in the descending order of their performance data. The widget facilitates quicker troubleshooting by enabling you to compare and dissect the best and worst performing monitors. Once published in the dashboard, the data in the widget is auto-refreshed every 10 minutes. Please read our help document to learn more about the widget.

Regards,

Abhiram

Hello,

We've added an all new Multi Attribute widget and have made some tune-ups to our availability and performance numerical widgets. Read our latest community post to learn more about these enhancements.

Thanks,

Abhiram
