Dashboards Hub

The Dashboards Hub (Dashboards | CREATION | Dashboards) provides a centralized landing page for working with dashboards. It's designed to make dashboard access more efficient, especially in environments with many custom dashboards. Instead of scrolling through a long left-navigation list, you can use the Hub to review recent dashboards, browse predefined dashboards, filter dashboards by category, search the full dashboard inventory, and open the dashboard you need from a single page.

The Dashboards Hub contains these main sections:

This topic also covers the following:

Recent

The Recent section shows dashboards that you opened recently. Use this section to return quickly to dashboards you access often. It's intended to reduce repeated searching and navigation for dashboards that are part of your regular workflow.

If you haven't opened any dashboards recently, this section is empty.

Explore

The Explore section presents a set of widely applicable predefined dashboards that provide a practical starting point for most deployments. Use this section to quickly open dashboards—such as an executive overview, ingestion trends, and alert categorizations—without searching the full list or creating custom dashboards.

To hide the Explore section, select Hide Explore (next to the + Create New button at the top of the page). This collapses the section and keeps it hidden until you restore it. To show it again, select Show Explore. This toggle is useful if you no longer need quick access to the predefined cards and prefer a more compact view of the Dashboards Hub.

All Dashboards

The All Dashboards section lists all available dashboards in a table. Use this section to browse the full inventory of dashboards or locate a specific one. The table helps you distinguish between built-in dashboards, custom dashboards, and (for root-level users and partners) tenant-specific dashboards.

The table includes details such as the following:

  • Dashboard Name

  • Tenant

  • Version

  • Category

  • Shared With

  • Created By

These columns help you identify the correct dashboard before opening it. This is especially useful when dashboards have similar or even identical names, which can occur in environments with multiple tenants.

Search and Filtering by Category

Use the search field above the table to locate dashboards by name. Search is the fastest way to find a dashboard when you know all or part of its name.

Category filters let you narrow the list of dashboards to those in one or more specific categories. The following are the available categories:

  • Custom

  • General

  • PCI DSS

  • CIS Controls

  • HIPAA

  • License

For example, if you want to see only user-created dashboards, select Custom. You can quickly narrow results by combining search with filters to find dashboards more efficiently.

Pagination

Use the pagination controls at the bottom of the table to move through large result sets. You can control how many entries appear on each page to review a large dashboard inventory in smaller or larger batches.

Dashboards Hub Actions

In addition to the three main sections, the Dashboards Hub includes page-level actions that support common dashboard tasks.

Create New

Select + Create New | Add New Dashboard to create a dashboard from the Dashboards Hub.

Select + Create New | Import Dashboard to import a dashboard that had previously been exported as a CSV file. This supports sharing dashboards between users: one user exports a dashboard from the Dashboards Hub and transfers the file to another user who then imports it to make the dashboard available in their environment.

Export CSV

To export the dashboard list currently shown in the table, select Export CSV. Use this option when you want to review dashboard inventory outside the user interface or share the current list with another user.

Select View

Select Select View to change the table view to a previously configured view or to create a new view. Use this option when you want to adjust how dashboard information is displayed in the table.

Best Practices

Use the following practices to work more efficiently in the Dashboards Hub:

  • Use Recent for dashboards you open often.

  • Use Explore to start with common predefined dashboards.

  • Use All Dashboards to browse the complete dashboard inventory.

  • Use Search when you know all or part of the dashboard name.

  • Use category filters to reduce large result sets.

  • Review Tenant, Category, and Created By before opening a dashboard with a similar name.

  • Use the page actions to create or import dashboards directly from the landing page.
