This guide explains how to create a dashboard and add widgets that display the status of Yandex Cloud resources.

Note

Yandex Monitoring automatically creates service dashboards with a set of widgets that display the status of your cloud resources.

If you do not have any resources, create them (for example, a ClickHouse® VM and cluster) to get started with the service.

Create a new dashboard

  1. On the homepage, click Create dashboard.
  2. Click Heading.
  3. In the text field, enter Cross-service dashboard.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Drag the created widget to the appropriate place on the dashboard.

Add a widget of Yandex Compute Cloud

  1. On the dashboard editing page, click Graph.
  2. Configure a new chart representing CPU loads of all the VMs in the folder by specifying Yandex Compute Cloud's cpu_usage metric in the query. To do this, select the following labels in the query constructor:
    • service=Compute Cloud
    • name=cpu_usage
    • resource_id=*
    • resource_type=vm
  3. Click Save. The widget will be displayed on the dashboard.
  4. Click to open the widget settings modal window.
  5. In the Title parameter, enter a name for the widget, e.g., CPU on all hosts.
  6. Click Save. The widget name will appear at the top of the widget.
  7. Drag the created widget to the appropriate place on the dashboard.

Add a widget of Yandex Managed Service for ClickHouse®

  1. On the dashboard editing page, click Graph.

  2. Configure a new chart representing the amount of free space on Yandex Managed Service for ClickHouse® cluster VMs by specifying the disk.free_bytes metric in the query. To do this, select the following labels in the query constructor:

    • service=Managed Service for ClickHouse
    • name=disk.free_bytes
    • host=*
    • resource_id=*
    • resource_type=cluster

  3. Click Save. The widget will be displayed on the dashboard.

  4. Click to open the widget settings modal window.

  5. In the Title parameter, enter a name for the widget, e.g., Free space on ClickHouse hosts.

  6. Click Save. The widget name will appear at the top of the widget.

  7. Drag the created widget to the appropriate place on the dashboard.

Save the created dashboard

  1. Click Save in the upper-right corner of the menu.
  2. Enter a name for the dashboard and click Save.

As a result, you created a dashboard with widgets that display the status of resources from different Yandex Cloud services.
