This guide explains how to create a dashboard and add widgets that display the status of Yandex.Cloud resources.

Note

Yandex Monitoring automatically creates service dashboards with a set of widgets that display the status of your cloud resources.

If you don't have any resources, create them (for example, a ClickHouse VM and cluster) to get started with the service.

Create a new dashboard

  1. On the home page of the service, click Create dashboard.
  2. Click Add in the upper-right corner of the menu and select Heading.
  3. In the text field, enter Cross-service dashboard.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Drag the created widget to the appropriate place on the dashboard.

Add a widget of Yandex Compute Cloud

  1. On the dashboard editing page, click Add in the upper-right part of the menu and select New chart.
  2. Configure a new chart that shows CPU load on all the VMs in the folder by specifying the cpu_usage metric of the Yandex Compute Cloud service in the query. To do this, select the following labels in the query constructor:
    • service=Compute Cloud
    • name=cpu_usage
    • resource_id=*
    • resource_type=vm
  3. Click Save. The widget is displayed on the dashboard.
  4. Click to open the widget configuration modal window.
  5. In the Heading parameter, enter a name for the widget. For example, CPU on all hosts.
  6. Click Save. The widget name appears at the top of the widget.
  7. Drag the created widget to the appropriate place on the dashboard.

Add a widget of Yandex Managed Service for ClickHouse

  1. On the dashboard editing page, click Add in the upper-right part of the menu and select New chart.

  2. Configure a new chart that shows the amount of free space on Yandex Managed Service for ClickHouse cluster VMs by specifying the disk.free_bytes metric in the query. To do this, select the following labels in the query constructor:

    • service=Managed Service for ClickHouse
    • name=disk.free_bytes
    • host=*
    • resource_id=*
    • resource_type=cluster

  3. Click Save. The widget is displayed on the dashboard.

  4. Click to open the widget configuration modal window.

  5. In the Heading parameter, enter a name for the widget. For example, Free space on ClickHouse hosts.

  6. Click Save. The widget name appears at the top of the widget.

  7. Drag the created widget to the appropriate place on the dashboard.

Save the created dashboard

  1. Click Save in the upper-right corner of the menu.
  2. Enter a name for the dashboard and click Save.

As a result, you created a dashboard with widgets that display the status of resources from different Yandex.Cloud services.
