Interactivity of visualization tiles varies according to the type of visualization, but they generally share common capabilities.
Hover over an element (such as a line or a slice of pie) to see details in a tooltip.
Select (click) an element and then select a button in the tooltip to drill down for details. For example, in a visualization showing a line for each host, select an interesting point on a line and then select the View host button to drill down to the selected host page.
The legend is active: select a legend entry to show or hide the corresponding element on the visualization.
All tiles have a tile menu in the upper-right corner:
Configure tile in Data Explorer opens the tile in Data Explorer, where you can configure the query and visualization.
Edit tile (if you have edit rights) opens the dashboard in edit mode with the current tile selected.
Configuration
To configure a visualization tile from the dashboard editor
Display your dashboard and select Edit.
Drag a visualization tile from the Edit dashboard pane, Tiles tab, to your dashboard.
Select Configure tile to open your tile in Data Explorer.
Configure the query for the tile. You don't have to create the final version all at once; you can build your query iteratively.
Select Run query after you make a query change to see the results of the change.
Optional Select a different visualization type and see what works best for your query.
The selection of visual settings available depends on the query and visualization type.
After you have defined the query:
To save your changes to the tile and dashboard you started from, select Save changes to dashboard.
To save your changes to a different tile, even a different dashboard, select Pin to dashboard and choose the destination dashboard and tile title.
Select Open dashboard.
Optional Change the tile title.
Optional Select a custom timeframe.
Optional Select a custom management zone.
Optional Select an environment.
To configure a visualization tile from the 'Data Explorer'
Go to Data Explorer.
Configure the query for the tile. You don't have to create the final version all at once; you can build your query iteratively.
Select Run query after you make a query change to see the results of the change.
Select different visualization types to see what works best for your query.
The selection of visual settings available depends on the query and visualization type. For details:
Some visualizations (for example, heatmaps) can display only one metric. To display a different metric in the visualization, select the letter next to the metric you want to visualize. In this example, we would change the selection from A (CPU usage %) to B (Memory used %).
Other visualizations (for example, tables) can display more than one metric. To change the selection of metrics to visualize, select the letters next to the metric names. In the above example, we would change the selection from A (CPU usage % only) to both A and B (CPU usage % and Memory used %).
When you are satisfied with the results of your query, select Pin to dashboard and choose the destination dashboard and tile title.
Select Open dashboard to see the tile on the dashboard.
Optional Change the tile title.
Optional Select a custom timeframe.
Optional Select a custom management zone.
Optional Select an environment.
Context
Use the context tiles (Header, Markdown, and Image) to explain your dashboard contents and add graphics such as company logos. This is particularly important if you're making dashboards to share with others.
Header
Use a header tile to put a bold label over another tile.
Markdown
Use one or more markdown tiles to customize and describe your dashboard: what it does, how to use it, and so on.
Limitations: 1,000 characters per markdown tile.
Markdown syntax
Headings
Markdown heading levels # - ###### are supported.
Horizontal lines
Use *** or ___ or --- alone on one line to add a horizontal line separating sections of your tile.
Line breaks
Leave two spaces at the end of a line to force a line break.
Emphasis
Use **text** or __text__ to display bold text.
Lists
You can create numbered (1.) or bulleted (*) markdown lists, or a mix of the two, with nesting.
Links
If you have favorite Dynatrace pages and websites, you can add links to all of them from your dashboards.
A link consists of two parts:
The link label in square brackets: [ and ]. This is free-form text between two square brackets, such as [Dynatrace].
The link target in parentheses: ( and ). There are two ways to define a target:
An absolute URL. For example, to link to:
https://www.example.com/
put the whole URL in parentheses
(https://www.example.com/)
to get a link definition like:
[Example](https://www.example.com/)
An anchor to a Dynatrace page (including other dashboards).
To get that anchor, navigate to the target page in Dynatrace and copy everything on the browser address line that follows the domain and slash.
If the full URL of the target page is:
Unlike other tile types, an image tile is not automatically refreshed. You need to refresh a dashboard manually to update the image tiles on that dashboard.
Upload an image
To upload an image and display it on your dashboard
Go to Dashboards (previous Dynatrace) or Dashboards Classic.
Select the name of a dashboard to display that dashboard.
Select Edit in the upper-right corner of the dashboard. The dashboard opens in edit mode.
If you don't see an Edit option, you don't have permission to edit that dashboard.
Drag an Image tile into position.
On the Image panel, select the Upload an image tab.
Select Upload image.
Browse for and select the image file you want to display in the tile.
Size and position the tile as needed.
Point to image via URL
To point to an image via URL and display it on your dashboard, you first need to add the URL to the allowlist, and then you can refer to that URL from an image tile.
Add the URL to the allowlist
Go to Settings and select Dashboards > Allowed URL pattern rules.
Select Add item.
Set Rule, which specifies how to process this allowlist entry.
Starts with—allow any image whose URL starts with the contents of Pattern.
Exact—allow the specific image whose URL matches the contents of Pattern exactly.
Set Pattern:
To specify a URL start, enter enough of the URL to make sure any matching image URLs will be suitable for your dashboards.
Example: enter https://example.com/images/ to allow any image whose URL starts with https://example.com/images/, such as https://example.com/images/image-x.jpg and
https://example.com/images/my-picture.svg
To specify an exact URL, enter the entire URL of the image you want to allow.
Example: enter https://example.com/images/my-image-file-name.jpg to allow only that image
Select Save changes to add the specified rule to the allowlist.
Add the image tile
Go to Dashboards (previous Dynatrace) or Dashboards Classic.
Select the name of a dashboard to display that dashboard.
Select Edit in the upper-right corner of the dashboard. The dashboard opens in edit mode.
If you don't see an Edit option, you don't have permission to edit that dashboard.
Drag an Image tile into position.
On the Image panel, select the Add image URL tab.
Enter the URL of the image file you want to display in the tile. It needs to match one of the rules on the allowlist.
Size and position the tile as needed.

Integrations
Data center service health
Displays the total number of data center services in your environment against the number of data center services that are currently affected by problems.
Drilldowns
Health tile drilldowns
From a health tile (such as Host health, Service health, and Application health), where you see green and red elements (such as hosts, services, or applications), hover over any problematic (red) element to see the identity of the element.
To drill down to a problematic (red) element, select the red hexagon and then select the View… button. On this example Synthetic monitor health tile, we have selected a red element, which enabled the View test drilldown button for that element.
You can't drill down from a healthy (green) element. From any tile, however, you can select the menu in the upper-right corner of the tile and then select View details to display the relevant Dynatrace page for the tile. For example, View details from a Synthetic monitor health tile displays the Synthetic monitors table.
