Build a dashboard
After a query returns the data you want, turn it into a panel. A dashboard is a set of panels, and each panel runs a query against a data source and visualizes the result.
Tip: Before you build a panel, confirm the data source is returning data. Open it in Explore to run a quick query, no dashboard required.
Now try building one yourself. This hands-on learning path walks you through turning a query into a time series panel in a dashboard. Some data sources, like CloudWatch, also include prebuilt dashboards you can import, so you won’t always have to start from scratch.
