UIv3 Dashboards Have Been Deprecated: Tips for the New Dashboard Experience
Summary: Sky Donnell, Sky Donnell, announces that LogicMonitor has deprecated UIv3 Dashboards in favor of a new, improved dashboard experience. The new system enhances how teams monitor performance and collaborate, while retaining core functionalities. Transitioning to the new dashboards, which feature an updated layout and better filtering options, is simplified with tutorial videos. The improvements include efficient navigation, query-driven analysis, and enhanced collaboration capabilities, ensuring a seamless transition that boosts productivity and innovation.
As LogicMonitor continues to evolve the dashboard experience, UIv3 Dashboards have now been deprecated in favor of the new dashboard experience.
Dashboards are a critical part of how teams monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and share insights across the business. Any change to that experience matters. The good news is that transitioning to the new dashboard experience is more straightforward than many users expect. Existing dashboards remain available, core functionality is still there, and the updated experience introduces meaningful improvements that make dashboards easier to use, manage, and share.
To help users get up to speed quickly, we’ve put together a short set of videos that walk through the most important updates and show how to make the most of the new dashboard experience.
What To Expect From The New Dashboard Experience
The transition to the new UI is designed to be as seamless as possible. For most users, the biggest changes are not about rebuilding dashboards from scratch, but about learning a more modern, streamlined way to work.
Here are a few practical tips to make the transition easier:
Get Familiar With The Updated Layout
The overall dashboard structure will still feel familiar, but navigation and actions are now more efficiently organized. Common controls like time range selection, adding widgets, and dashboard actions are easier to access, helping teams move faster in daily workflows.

Use Filters To Reduce Dashboard Sprawl
One of the biggest improvements in the new dashboard experience is filtering. Instead of maintaining multiple versions of similar dashboards, users can quickly filter by customer, environment, or other criteria, and the full dashboard updates instantly. Saved views make repeat workflows even faster and more consistent across teams.

Share The Exact View You Want Others To See
Collaboration is easier in the new experience. Shared dashboard links can preserve time ranges and applied filters, making it much easier to align teammates, stakeholders, or customers around the same set of data, without extra explanation.

Take Advantage Of More Flexible, Query-Driven Analysis
The Advanced Metrics widget brings a powerful new way to build dashboards. By using LMQL to define and reuse queries, teams can create more flexible visualizations for troubleshooting, reporting, and customer-specific views, all from the same underlying logic.

Keep Using The Widgets You Already Know
For teams already using Custom Graph, Big Number, and Pie Chart widgets, the good news is that those familiar capabilities remain in place. The main change is a cleaner, more structured configuration experience that makes widget setup and editing easier.

Why This Transition Matters
The new dashboard experience is not just a visual refresh. It creates a stronger foundation for faster workflows today and more innovation going forward. With improved filtering, easier sharing, more flexible visualization options, and a more intuitive configuration experience, teams can get more value from dashboards with less effort.
The move away from UIv3 Dashboards is an opportunity to simplify dashboard management, improve collaboration, and leverage a more modern experience built for how teams work today. With the right features already in place and guided walkthroughs available for the most important changes, getting comfortable with the new dashboard experience can be quick, practical, and immediately valuable.

·3 months agoThanks for sharing the update on the new dashboard experience.
While I understand and appreciate the improvements around filtering, sharing, and overall usability, I’ve identified a challenge with the updated color scheme that is impacting day-to-day operations.
In the previous UIv3 dashboards, device and service status was very easy to interpret at a glance, with strong visual indicators (green for up, red for down) applied to the background. In the new dashboard experience, the status indication relies on much lighter color variations and changes primarily to the font rather than the background. As a result, it’s significantly harder to quickly distinguish between healthy and unhealthy states, especially when scanning multiple devices or dashboards.
From an operational standpoint, this reduces the effectiveness of dashboards as a “quick-glance” tool, which is one of their primary use cases for monitoring and incident response.
I would strongly recommend considering an option to enable more prominent visual indicators (such as background-based color coding or higher-contrast status themes) to restore that immediate visibility.
Please let me know if there are any configuration options, themes, or best practices available today that can help improve status visibility in the new dashboard experience.
