Widgets

Widgets are dashboard elements that display information as a chart or text.

In Yandex Monitoring, you can add the following widgets:

• Chart
• Text
• Title
• Escalation

ChartChart

The visual representation of one or more metrics over a specific period of time. Each metric has a different color on the chart.

Yandex Monitoring lets you display Yandex Cloud service metrics on charts and custom metrics uploaded via the API.

Chart typesChart types

• Line chart: Line plotted from metric values and their timestamps.
• Area chart: Metrics depicted as color-filled areas.
• Column chart: Metric values plotted as columns of equal width. Column height represents the sum of all metric values at a given point and is split in proportion to the original values.
• Scatter chart: Metric values visualized as individual points.
• Pie chart: Metrics depicted as parts of a circle (sectors), where each sector represents the aggregated value of metrics over the entire selected time interval.
• Tile chart: Metric values displayed as individual tiles, where each tile shows the aggregated value of metrics over the entire selected time interval.

Color schemesColor schemes

• Auto: Applies one of the following color schemes:
  • Gradient: In Area charts if all its lines have at least one numeric value.
  • Default: In all the other cases.
• Default: Color is defined by an algorithm installed in the system.
• Gradient: Red-to-green gradient blend, where red represents high metric values, and green, low values.
• Line name: Calculates a unique value (hash) for each line and generates the color based on the hash value. Lines with the same name will be displayed identically in most cases.
• By threshold: Line color is selected based on user-defined thresholds and data aggregation method. Use this setting to highlight lines which represent critical or target values.

Time period on chartsTime period on charts

Metrics on charts are displayed for a given time interval, which you can specify using preset ranges (1h 3h 1d 1w 1mo). You can also set the start and end of the interval.

To set the interval more precisely, use the timeline located above the chart.

AlertAlert
