Let’s look at how to create and modify dashboards in the Azure portal. In this unit, you learn about creating and using dashboards. In the next unit, you’ll try out the things you learned.
What is a dashboard?
A dashboard is a customizable collection of UI tiles displayed in the Azure portal. You can add, remove, and position tiles to create the exact view you want, then save that view as a dashboard. You can configure multiple dashboards, and you can switch among them as needed. You can even share your dashboards with other team members.
Dashboards give you flexibility in what information to display. For example, you can create dashboards for specific roles within the organization, then use role-based access control (RBAC) to control who can access each dashboard.
Dashboards are stored as JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files. This format means you can download a dashboard and edit the file directly, then upload it again to Azure or share it with other users. Azure stores dashboards within resource groups, just like any other resource that you can manage within the portal.
