On-call
The first dashboard opened by whoever picks up an alert.
Dashboards & Visualisation.
Observability dashboards for every audience: on-call, development teams and management.
The problem we solve.
Dashboards with dozens of charts nobody looks at, and yet during the incident the one that would have helped is missing. The information exists but isn't organised for whoever has to decide.
What’s included.
- Dashboard groups by service and audience
- Charts with SignalFlow
- SLO dashboards
- Mirrored dashboards between teams
- Dashboards managed as code
How we work.
Five phases, always in the same order. Select each one to see what happens in it. In full projects they map onto the stages of our method.
We review what's monitored today, with which tools, which incidents went unnoticed and what it costs.
We design the collection layer with OpenTelemetry: agents, gateways, egress paths, common attributes and sampling.
We build dashboard groups by service and audience, with links to traces and logs.
We review each dashboard with its users and remove charts that do not help decision-making.
We tune cardinality, sampling and detectors based on real usage to contain cost and noise.

Frequently asked questions.
Can you reuse our current dashboards?
Yes, if they still answer a useful question; the rest is rebuilt or retired.
Can dashboards be versioned?
Yes, with Terraform, just like detectors.
Do you link dashboards with APM and logs?
Yes, so you can jump from a chart to the traces and logs from the same moment.
Shall we talk about Dashboards & Visualisation?
