Managing dashboards in Tanzu Platform

Last Updated February 19, 2025

Dashboards provide a snapshot overview of your onboarded resources and their key performance indicators like governance, cost, and breakdowns of services, infrastructure, and geolocation. In addition to the default dashboards that Tanzu Platform provides, you can create your own dashboard customized to the metrics you want to see.

Before you start

Before making any changes, know what your assigned roles allow you to do with dashboards.

  • Tanzu Platform admins can change the default dashboard and edit any dashboard available.
  • Tanzu Platform analysts can create custom dashboards and edit them, but cannot edit dashboards created by others.
  • Tanzu Platform viewers cannot create dashboards.
