Suggested dashboards now available

We’re introducing suggested dashboards, a feature designed to reduce the time it takes for you to create your first effective dashboard. Suggested dashboards address the challenge of an empty dashboard by leveraging the context of your data connections. The empty dashboard now includes suggestions for pre-built dashboards based on your connected data sources. With these dashboards, curated from both Grafana and the Community, you can achieve faster initial time-to-insight.

After you successfully configure a data source, click the Build a dashboard button:

The empty dashboard that opens automatically displays a list of suggested dashboards based on the data source:

This allows you to deploy a functional dashboard faster than building a brand new one.

Suggested dashboards provide:

  • Contextual discovery: Automatically suggests pre-built dashboards tied specifically to the data source you have connected.
  • Accelerated setup: You can immediately load and save suggested dashboards, which can then be used as a starting point for further customization.
  • Reduced friction: Streamlines the onboarding process by offering actionable content directly after data source configuration.
