Widgets
Overview
A widget is a fundamental element of a dashboard that displays data related to the infrastructure for monitoring.
Adding a Widget to the Dashboard
The data on dashboard is shown at the widget level. In order to make effective dashboards, you need to add and create different types of widgets to the dashboard. The widgets differ from each other in the data they display and how they display it. You can configure these widgets to display data vital to your business, infrastructure health, or both.
Navigation
Go to Main Menu, Select Dashboard 
. The default dashboard screen is displayed.
Click 
at the bottom-right corner of the screen. A pop up to create and add a new widget to the dashboard is now displayed.
You can select either a Pre-defined or a User-Defined widget if you want to add a widget that is already created to the dashboard. Hovering over these Pre-defined and User-Defined widget, you can view the widget used count. Clicking the displayed used count, it displays the details about the particular widget. i.e., Dashboard Name where the widget is used, Category Name associated with the widget, Security and Type defined for the widget.
You can also create a new widget to add to the dashboard. Let us look into how to create a new widget in detail.
Widget Creation
Select any widget from listed to create a new widget of your own and add it to the dashboard. The screen to create a widget is now displayed.
Widget Creation is a three step process that includes the following:
- Select Visualization: Select the way in which data is displayed.
- Query the Widget Data: Select the data to be displayed.
- Add Styling and Sorting Details: Configure widget styling and data sorting details.
Let us look into each step in detail in the next section.
Metric Insight
Metric Insight gives you instant statistical context for any metric rendered in a line chart widget while building or viewing your dashboards. Rather than switching to a separate analytics screen, you can open the insight panel directly from the widget and analyze the metric using the same time range and context already applied.
Line chart widgets display the Metric Insight icon on the widget header. Clicking it opens an insight panel with three tabs:
Statistical Insight
The Statistical Insight tab provides a comprehensive set of computed statistics for the metric over the selected time range:
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| Average | The mean value of the metric across the selected time range. |
| Peak | The highest value recorded, along with the timestamp at which it occurred. |
| Minimum | The lowest value recorded, along with the timestamp at which it occurred. |
| P95 | The 95th percentile value — 95% of recorded values fall at or below this point. |
| Standard Deviation | Measures how much the metric values vary around the average. |
| Stability Score | An indicator of how consistently the metric behaves over the selected period. |
| Major Spikes | Lists the top spike events detected — sudden sharp increases that deviate from normal behavior. |
| Trend Overview | A high-level description of whether the metric is trending upward, downward, or remaining stable. |
| Short-Term Dynamics | Captures recent fluctuation behavior to highlight any immediate changes in the metric pattern. |
| Consistency Window | Identifies the period during which the metric remained within a stable range. |
| Anomaly Occurrences | Displays the occurrences of detected anomalies within the selected time range. |
Statistical Summary
The Statistical Summary tab displays the computed statistics into a plain-language narrative covering trend direction, level of volatility, and any notable anomalies detected over the selected time range.
KPI Summary
The KPI Summary tab provides a health interpretation of the metric based on configured thresholds or baseline values:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Healthy | The metric is performing within expected bounds. |
| Degrading | The metric is showing signs of deterioration and may require attention. |
| Critical | The metric has breached critical thresholds and requires immediate action. |
The Metric Insight panel always reflects the time range of the widget. If the dashboard global time range changes, the panel updates accordingly when reopened.
