Dashboards
A dashboard is a live view of your telemetry. You ask for one in plain language:Monitors
A monitor watches your telemetry and reports one of three states:healthy, firing, or unknown. It is more than a threshold: in one check it can look across your traces, metrics, and logs, read your connected repository, and remember what it saw last time — enough to notice, for example, that errors climbed right after the latest deploy.
You ask for one in plain language:
healthy— the condition being watched is fine.firing— the condition tripped. A firing always carries a short, specific reason.unknown— the check could not run (failed query, missing data).
pending for a new monitor that has not checked yet, and failed for one that could not start — ask the agent to fix it.
