Insights dashboard

The Insights dashboard provides a centralized view of insights.

Required permission​

  • Insights Manager

Access the dashboard​

In the DoiT console, there are two ways to access the Insights dashboard:

  • Select Workload optimization > Insights from the top navigation mega menu.

  • Select Automation and operations > Composer from the top navigation mega menu, and then select View all insights on the Composer page.

The Insights dashboard consists of sidebar options, Account coverage in the page header, dashboard tabs, and a way to switch between insights and resources views.

The Composer insights dashboard.

The sidebar on the left side provides the following options:

  • Insights scope: Narrows down the insights scope by the selected cloud accounts.

  • Insights: Filters insights and resources by category.

  • Create recipe: Navigates to the Composer recipe creation page to build custom insights.

  • Explore 3rd party insights: Launches the dashboard of third-party insights. For end customers on a PartnerOps plan, this option reads Explore AWS insights.

Account coverage and scan status​

When viewing proprietary insights, Account coverage in the page header shows:

  • The coverage percentage of onboarded accounts.

  • The count of onboarded accounts out of the total eligible accounts (for example, 3/5).

  • The date and time of the last scan. Hover over Refresh to see it.

If one or more account scans have errors, a warning is shown instead of the coverage percentage.

Select Account coverage to open Composer & Insights coverage and Account scan status.

Note

When one or more connected Composer accounts are not yet connected for billing, a warning banner appears below the page header for the Cost and All categories. The banner indicates whether cost savings data is incomplete (some accounts are missing billing data) or unavailable (no accounts have billing data). Select Connect accounts on the banner to open the integrations catalog, or Learn more to see Connect your cloud.

Dashboard tabs​

The insights dashboard has four tabs: Cost overview, Overview, Highlights, and Historical data. The Cost overview tab appears when you view the Cost or All categories and at least one connected Composer account has billing data. The selected tab is preserved in the URL, so you can bookmark or share a link to a specific view.

Cost overview​

The Cost overview tab displays four cards for DoiT-proprietary cost insights:

Each card shows two figures:

  • A to-date amount — the cumulative impact already realized from resolved insights, converted to your organization's currency. This value is not annualized. The label is Saved to date, Avoided to date, or Freed to date, depending on the card.

  • Annual potential: The estimated annualized impact from active insights.

Hover a card title for a brief definition. A caption under the cards explains how to-date and annual potential figures are calculated. For dash values, $0, and the Unable to retrieve data. message, see Dashes and $0. For how all four financial metrics are calculated and how they work together, see Cost insight financial metrics.

Overview​

The Overview tab displays two summary charts of DoiT-proprietary insights and affected resources.

Overview tab showing the coverage metrics cards

The overview includes the following charts:

  • Insights coverage: Shows the percentage of covered insights relative to all resources. The chart includes a breakdown by status: Active, Resolved, and Dismissed.

  • Resolution rate: Shows the percentage of resource issues resolved, averaged across selected accounts. The chart includes a breakdown by status: Active, Resolved, and Dismissed.

The charts reflect the currently selected cloud accounts and insights category. Adjusting the filters updates the charts to show only the relevant data.

Highlights​

The Highlights tab displays two side-by-side panels that surface the most important findings at a glance.

  • Most affected resources: Lists cloud resources ranked by the number of active issues. Each row shows a resource-type icon, the resource name, and color-coded counts for each severity level. Select any row to open the resource details panel for that resource. Scroll down to progressively load more resources.

  • Recent insights: Lists recently detected active insights, ordered by most recent day first and then by severity within the same day. Insights are grouped by relative date, with date labels displayed in your configured app language. Each insight displays a clickable title that opens the insight detail page, along with a severity badge. Scroll down to progressively load more insights.

Both panels reflect the currently selected cloud accounts and insights category.

Historical data​

The Historical data tab displays an Active and resolved issues chart that plots the number of active and resolved issues over time.

Historical data tab showing the line chart and time range selector

Use the time range selector in the top-right corner of the chart to adjust the displayed period:

  • Last 7 days: Shown in daily intervals.

  • Last 30 days (default): Shown in daily intervals.

  • Last 90 days: Shown in weekly intervals.

The chart updates to show data for the selected insights category in the sidebar, such as Cost, Security, or All, and the selected cloud accounts.

Toggle between views​

The Insights dashboard offers different views. You can switch between views using the toggle button at the top of the dashboard. The insights scope and category, if specified in the left sidebar, are preserved across views.

  • Insights View: Lists insights generated by Composer. Each insight is a recommendation based on recipe evaluations across your connected cloud accounts.

  • Resources View: Lists the individual cloud resources affected by active insights.

  • Compliance View: When the Compliance category is selected, a Compliance view option also appears in the toggle. Selecting it shows compliance framework results as cards.
