Dashboards

Dashboards let you build custom visualizations over any telemetry signal, metrics, logs or traces, and combine them into one view for your team. Start from a pre-built template or compose panels from scratch.

Dashboards have been rebuilt: a views-first list you can filter with a query, sections instead of one flat grid, a full-page panel editor, and a variables runtime that only refetches the panels a change actually affects.

Key capabilities

• Find the dashboard you want: open on a views rail, filter the list with a query such as tag CONTAINS prod AND updated_at >= '2026-07-20T00:00:00Z', pin what you use daily, and save any filter combination as a view your team can share.
• Organize a dashboard into sections: group related panels into collapsible blocks, reorder by drag-and-drop, and clone a section with every panel inside it.
• Build panels in a dedicated editor: seven panel types with a live preview, switchable mid-edit without losing your formatting, units or thresholds.
• Filter everything with variables: dynamic, query, custom and textbox variables. Pick the panels a variable applies to and review exactly which queries change before you commit.
• Drill down from any panel: jump into the underlying logs and traces, break out by an attribute, create an alert seeded from the panel, or download it as PNG, SVG or CSV.
• Edit a dashboard as JSON: read, copy, download or hand-edit the whole spec in the app, without going through the API.
• Share a link with your teammates: copy the dashboard link with your current variable selections included, so the person you send it to opens what you were looking at. Requires a SigNoz login.
• Publish a dashboard publicly: a separate flow that generates a public URL anyone can open without logging in. Public dashboards do not support variables.
• Manage dashboards as code: a typed schema and the SigNoz Terraform provider, for repeatable version-controlled deployments.

Get started

• Manage dashboards: create, edit, resize, and organize custom dashboards.
• Out of box dashboards: browse and import 60+ pre-built templates.
• Saved views, Filter the dashboards list with a query, then save and reuse views.

Build and customize

• Panel types: time series, Value, Table, Bar, Histogram, Pie, and List panels.
• Variables, Create dynamic, query, custom, and textbox variables for dynamic filtering.
• Using variables in queries: reference variables inside panel queries.
• Interactivity: navigate between dashboards, link panels, and use click-through actions.
• JSON editor, Edit a dashboard as raw JSON and validate its panels and layout.
• Public sharing: share dashboards publicly via a link.
• Terraform provider: manage dashboards as code.

Add a panel from an explorer

You do not have to start in a dashboard. When you have a query you like in the Logs, Traces, Metrics, or Meter explorer, you can send it straight to a dashboard as a new panel:

1. Build your query in the explorer.
2. Select Add to dashboard.
3. In the Add to dashboard dialog, either pick an existing dashboard from Select a dashboard, or select New dashboard to create one to export into.
4. Confirm. SigNoz opens the panel editor on the target dashboard with your query already loaded, so you can set the visualization and save.
