Dashboards in Global View

When you access the Global View in the Virtana Platform, the dashboard section provides a comprehensive, interactive overview of your environment’s health, alerts, and key metrics. The layout is designed to help you quickly assess system status, drill into problem areas, and navigate between different observability domains. You can view the Alert Dashboard as the default selected dashboard.

Custom dashboard

A Custom dashboard in Global View is a user-defined dashboard that you configure to show the metrics and entities that matter most to your organization. You can name the dashboard, select data sources across IO, CO, SO, and Global View, add multiple widgets, and apply filters, aggregations, and transformations per widget. Custom dashboards support role-based access control (RBAC), save and reuse layouts, and share or export views, enabling teams to standardize on a common, executive-level or operations-focused view of critical performance, cost, and capacity metrics.

Alert dashboard

It is the default dashboard in Global View and provides a real-time, system-wide view of alerts and events across all supported observability domains. The dashboard aggregates active and recent alerts by severity, source, and affected entities. It lets you quickly identify hotspots, drill into individual alert details, and validate whether mitigation actions are reducing alert volume. Global filters and time-range controls let you narrow the alert view to specific applications, environments, or time windows. To view in detail, see Alert dashboard.

Cluster overview dashboard

The Cluster Overview Dashboard summarizes the health and utilization of compute or container clusters monitored by the Virtana Platform. It surfaces key metrics, including node availability, CPU and memory utilization, pod or workload density, and resource saturation indicators. The dashboard helps you identify imbalanced clusters, capacity constraints, and failure domains, and provides navigation points into deeper cluster, node, or workload-level views for troubleshooting. To view in detail, see Cluster overview dashboard.

On-Premises storage array cost and capacity summary

The On-Premises storage array cost and capacity summary dashboard focuses on storage arrays in on-premises environments. It aggregates capacity, utilization, and cost metrics per array and across arrays, including total and used capacity, free space, growth trends, and cost allocation where available. This dashboard helps you understand storage consumption patterns, identify arrays nearing capacity or cost limits, and support planning activities such as expansion, consolidation, or reclamation. To view in detail, see On-Premises storage array cost and capacity summary.

On-Premises compute capacity summary

The On-Premises compute capacity summary dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of compute capacity and utilization for on-premises infrastructure. It aggregates CPU, memory, and possibly GPU or specialized resource usage across hosts, clusters, or resource pools. The dashboard highlights underutilized and overcommitted resources, helping you identify candidates for rightsizing, consolidation, or decommissioning, and supports capacity planning decisions for on-prem data centers. To view in detail, see On-Premises compute capacity summary.

GPU fleet analysis

This dashboard gives a consolidated view of GPU resources across your environment. It tracks GPU inventory, utilization, memory usage, and allocation across hosts, clusters, or workloads. The dashboard helps you identify idle or over-subscribed GPUs, optimize placement for GPU-intensive workloads, and plan capacity for AI/ML or other accelerated computing use cases by showing trends and hotspots in GPU consumption. To view in detail, see GPU fleet analysis.

Token usage dashboard

The Token usage dashboard tracks the consumption of API tokens or metered service tokens in the Virtana Platform. It reports usage over time, by service, user, or integration, and can highlight thresholds, quotas, or anomalous consumption patterns. This dashboard is used to monitor and control costs, ensure fair usage, and detect unexpected spikes that may indicate configuration issues or misuse of token-based services. To view in detail, see Token usage dashboard.
