Management Dashboard provides a set of Oracle-defined widgets for the Observability & Management services it supports and enables you to create custom widgets that meet your specific requirements.

Oracle-defined widgets are ready-to-use visualization tools that display a wide variety of data and functionality to monitor your resources. Here's information about two Oracle-defined widgets that you can use to monitor all supported Observability & Management service resources:

• Metric line chart: Enables you to quickly specify input parameters such as Namespace and Metric name and visualize the metric data stored in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring service, in a line chart.
• Resources table: Lists the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources and common attributes returned using a Search query.

The topics in this section provide information on the custom widgets you can create in Management Dashboard and other generic widget-related functionalities. In addition, you can:

• Create and execute a search query in the Logging Analytics Log Explorer, save the search as a widget and add it to a dashboard. For information, see Save a Log Search and Add It to a Dashboard.
• Save a SQL query in the Ops Insights Data Object Explorers, share it as a widget and add it to a dashboard. For information, see Save and Share SQL Queries.
