# Dashboards Overview

Diagnostic information is often useful in a particular context.
Dashboards are a great way of saving these metrics and grouping them together for easy access when needed.

For example you might want to create a dashboard to show the health of some particularly important services.
In this dashboard you can include charts on metoro-collected data like traces, APM data, log information and container metrics.
Then show that side by side with custom metrics emitted from your services.

When creating a dashboard, Metoro can start from a dashboard template instead of a blank canvas. Templates cover common service and infrastructure views, and include configurable SLO templates for availability, latency, error rate, and custom MetoroQL metrics. See [Dashboard Templates](./templates).

Metoro supports both UI-managed dashboards and infrastructure-as-code workflows. If you want to define dashboards in Kubernetes and sync them automatically, see [Manage Dashboards with Kubernetes](./configmap-managed).
If you are migrating existing Grafana dashboards, see [Import Grafana Dashboards](./import-grafana).
If you need to share a dashboard with someone who does not have a Metoro account, see [Public Dashboard Access](./public-access).

## Dashboards View

The [dashboards](https://demo.us-east.metoro.io/dashboards) view in Metoro shows all the dashboards that have been created in your organization.

Each dashboard has a unique internal URL that you can share with Metoro users who have access to your organization, for example, this [test dashboard](https://demo.us-east.metoro.io/dashboard?dashboardId=85301588-eb27-4b68-be36-efa2049a6cf3\&environment=\&startEnd=\&service=).
Use [public dashboard access](./public-access) when you want a password-protected link for viewers outside your Metoro organization.
