New Relic Dashboards
New Relic Dashboards is a feature within the New Relic observability platform that allows developers and operations teams to create customizable visualizations of application performance, infrastructure metrics, and business data. It provides real-time monitoring through charts, graphs, and widgets that aggregate data from various New Relic sources, such as APM, infrastructure, logs, and browser monitoring. This tool helps teams track key performance indicators (KPIs), identify trends, and troubleshoot issues across their software stack.
Developers should use New Relic Dashboards when they need to monitor and visualize the health and performance of applications, services, or infrastructure in a centralized, real-time manner, especially in cloud-native or microservices environments. It is valuable for DevOps and SRE teams to set up alerts, conduct root cause analysis, and share insights with stakeholders, as it integrates seamlessly with other New Relic tools for a comprehensive observability solution. Use cases include tracking response times, error rates, server utilization, and custom business metrics to ensure reliability and optimize performance.
