Add a Panel to a Dashboard
Panels are the building blocks of a Kloudfuse dashboard. Each panel represents a visualization of your observability data—whether it’s time-series metrics, aggregated lists, log events, or static content.
Use panels to create focused, actionable views of infrastructure or application performance.
