Assessing dashboard usage - Amazon Managed Grafana

This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see Working in Grafana version 9.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see Working in Grafana version 8.

For every dashboard and data source, you can access usage information.

Dashboard insights

To see dashboard usage information, select Dashboard insights in the top bar.

Dashboard insights show the following information.

  • Stats – The number of daily queries and errors for the past 30 days.

  • Users & activity – The daily view count for the last 30 days; last activities on the dashboard and recent users (with a limit of 20).

Data source insights

Data source insights provide information about how a data source has been used in the past 30 days, such as:

  • Queries per day

  • Errors per day

  • Query load time per day (averaged in ms)

To find data source insights
  1. Select Connections in the main navigation of your workspace.

  2. Select Data sources.

  3. Choose a data source.

  4. Select the Insights tab.

Presence indicator

When you are signed in and look at a dashboard, you can know who is looking at the same dashboard as you are through a presence indicator, which displays avatars of users who have recently interacted with the dashboard. The default timeframe is 10 minutes. To see the user’s name, hover over the user’s avatar. The avatars come from Gravatar based on the user’s email.

When there are more active users on a dashboard than can fit within the presence indicator, click the +X icon. Doing this will open dashboard insights, which contain more details about recent user activity.

Sorting dashboards by using insights data

In the search view, you can use insights data to help you find most-used, broken, and unused dashboards. You can sort dashboards by the following.

  • Views

  • Errors
