Dashboard & Monitoring Design
Dashboard and monitoring design concerns the visual representation of cloud system metrics, logs, and operational data: performance dashboards, monitoring displays, alert systems, and visualization tools. The dashboard is the primary interface between operators and the cloud environment, and determines how information and issues are presented to the users. A good dashboard allows engineers to quickly identify issues, understand system state, and take appropriate actions.
