11 Using Dashboards
Enterprise Manager dashboards are data visualization tools that gather real-time data from the enterprise and display them in easy-to-interpret widgets. Dashboards enable you to monitor your IT infrastructure or specific areas or targets at a glance, and quickly identify outliers and take corrective action.
To access Dashboards in Enterprise Manager, open the navigation menu (upper-left corner), select Enterprise, and then select Dashboards. On the Dashboards page, the list of out-of-the-box dashboards and custom dashboards, if any, is displayed. On this page, you can:
- Click Create dashboard to create a custom dashboard. For information, see Creating a Custom Dashboard.
- Click Import dashboards to import a dashboard. For information, see Exporting and Importing Dashboards.
- Click Show widgets to view the list of available
out-of-the-box and custom widgets. On the Widgets page, you
can click the
icon for a custom widget and click the available options to perform tasks such as duplicating or deleting the widget. Note that these options are currently disabled for out-of-the-box widgets.
- Click Show filters to view the list of available
out-of-the-box and custom filters. On the Filters page, you
can click the
icon for an out-of-the-box filter and click Duplicate to duplicate the filter. For custom filters, you can click the
icon and click the available options to perform tasks such as duplicating or deleting the filter.
- Select an option in the Created by or Updated by drop-down lists or enter text in the Search field to filter the list of dashboards. For example, select Oracle in the Created by drop-down list to only view out-of-the-box dashboards.
- Sort the list of dashboards by clicking the Sort
ascending or Sort descending icon (
or
) in the column headings.
- Enter text in the Search... field to view the dashboards that have the text in the name or description.
- Click the name of a dashboard to open it.
- Click the
icon for a dashboard and click the available options to perform tasks such as opening the dashboard in the view or edit mode, duplicating the dashboard, or deleting the dashboard. For out-of-the-box dashboards, only the Open and Duplicate options are enabled in this menu.

In addition to Enterprise Manager dashboards, you can create dashboards using Grafana, which is an open-source technology used for metric analytics and visualization. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager App for Grafana, you can extract OMS repository metric data and display it graphically for fast, intuitive access to performance and metric information.
