Dashboards overview

Introduction​

Dashboards in the DoiT Console are an essential tool for effective FinOps practices. They serve as a central hub to help you manage and optimize cloud infrastructure expenses.

There are two types of dashboards: pre-built dashboards, and custom dashboards.

Pre-built dashboards​

DoiT Console comes with several pre-built dashboards:

  • Home dashboard (also known as Account dashboard): Your default landing page in the DoiT Console after you complete your cloud setup.

  • Pulse dashboard: Offers a comprehensive overview of your cloud expenditure across cloud providers through summary cards and preset report widgets.

  • Dashboards dedicated to specific workloads: Help you understand your usage of cloud services in depth, including AWS Lens, GCP Lens, BigQuery Lens, GKE Lens, EKS Lens, and Azure Lens.

Home dashboard​

The Home dashboard consists of three sections:

  • Quick links: Shortcuts to frequently performed actions, for example, to create a report, set up a ramp plan, or open a support request.

  • Discover: Resources and DoiT offerings relevant to your organization and your role, for example, to sign up to live and on-demand sessions, or to explore DoiT cloud training services.

  • Dashboard widgets: By default, the Home dashboard hosts the following widgets: Essential Contacts for your organization, Billing Profiles of your organization, Active cloud incidents related to your regions and services, and Support Requests created over the last 36 months.

Custom dashboards​

In addition to the pre-built dashboards, you can also create your own custom dashboards and share them in your organization.

See custom dashboards for more information.

Access control​

Pre-built dashboards and public dashboards are, by default, accessible to your whole company.

To enforce granular access controls, you need a role with the Users Manager permission to set up the Organizations feature in the DoiT Console, which allows you to:

  • Specify which dashboards are visible to members of a specific Organization.

  • Specify whether members of a specific Organization can create custom dashboards.

  • Specify whether members of a specific Organization can access the Home dashboard (account dashboard).
