How do I create a Google Cloud dashboard?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:22 pm

A Google Cloud dashboard is a graphical user interface that allows you to monitor and manage your Google Cloud Platform resources. You can create a dashboard to view your data in a variety of ways, including charts and graphs, tables and lists, and maps.

To create a Google Cloud dashboard, you first need to sign in to your Google Cloud Platform account. Then, from the Google Cloud Platform Console, select the project or Compute Engine instance you want to use for your dashboard.

In the navigation bar, select Tools > Dashboards.

The Dashboards page displays all of the dashboards that are currently available for your project or instance. Click the blue Create new dashboard button to create a new dashboard.

When you create a new dashboard, the Cloud Platform Console displays a set of instructions that show you how to configure the dashboard. You can choose to configure the dashboard to display data from one or more resources in your project or instance.

For example, you can display data from your Google Cloud Platform resources such as data stores, machines, and applications. You can also display data from sources outside of Google Cloud Platform, such as data from public clouds or data sources that you own and control.

To configure the dashboard, you first need to choose a configuration file. The Cloud Platform Console fetches the configuration file from a Google Cloud Storage bucket that you specify.

PRO TIP: This article is outdated and no longer reflects the current state of Google Cloud. Please see the updated docs for how to create a dashboard.

The configuration file contains information about the resources that the dashboard displays, such as the data stores, machines, and applications that the dashboard displays.

You can then configure the dashboard to display the data in the configuration file. For example, you can set the data type for the data stores, machines, and applications that the dashboard displays.

You can also set the time range for the data that the dashboard displays.

You can also configure the dashboard to display data from external sources. For example, you can configure the dashboard to display data from a public cloud or data sources that you own and control.

When you finish configuring the dashboard, click the Publish button to publish the dashboard to the Google Cloud Platform. The Cloud Platform Console updates the configuration file with the information about the resources that the dashboard displays.

The Cloud Platform Console lists the dashboards that are currently published to your project or instance. To view the details of a published dashboard, click the name of the dashboard.

The Cloud Platform Console displays the settings for the published dashboard. You can configure the dashboard to display data in a chart or graph, to display data in a table or list, or to display data in a map.

You can also configure the dashboard to display data in a specific format. For example, you can format the data in a table or list in a specific way.
