Can I create a dashboard that let's the user pick which groups of servers they want to see?

Hi,

We have servers in the US and in Canada.  We also have various types of servers such as App, Web, etc.  I have users who need to see the CPU and Memory for a certain group of servers together.  E.g. alll the US App servers or the Canada Web servers.

Is there any way to do this with a single dashboard that would somehow allow the user to specify which servers or server group they want to see at the top and it would then update all the widgets on the dashboard to show those servers?

I currently have a dashboard for US App, US Web, CA App, CA Web, etc.  They are all hard coded to the proper servers.  I was hoping for a way they coudl either:

  1. Pick from a dropdown list of which type of server they want, and the widgets would then update to show those predefined servers.
  2. type in their own filter like US-APP* and have the widgets update to reflect the proper servers.

Is anything like that possible?

Thanks.

    You should be able to achieve this with UIv4 and dashboard filters. It could be as simple as using system.groups as your filter:

    Or you could get more creative and apply additional properties to your devices, either individually or at group level e.g.

    • role: webserver/appserver/etc.
    • location: US/CA/etc.

    You can then filter using one or more of these properties.

    Within the dashboard itself, you can also define which properties should be populated by default.
