Dashboards

Last updated on

The Resilience Testing (RT) module provides dashboards that visualize key metrics from your chaos testing operations. You access them under the Dashboards section of the Risk Insights left navigation.

The module ships with out-of-the-box (OOTB) dashboards for a high-level view of chaos testing across an account, and you can also build your own custom dashboards from Harness Unified Data Platform (UDP) queries.

Selecting Dashboards opens the dashboards landing page.

Out-of-the-box dashboards​

The OOTB dashboards fall under three categories:

  • Experiment Activity
  • Experiment Outcomes & Scores
  • Authoring & People

The following dashboards ship out of the box:

DashboardCategoryKey widgets
Chaos Experiments by TargetExperiment ActivityTotal Chaos Experiment Runs, Experiment Runs by Status, Faults created per Infrastructure, Experiments created per Infrastructure, Chaos Experiment Runs (Daily/Weekly), Experiment Runs per Chaos Experiment, Average & Median Resilience score, Chaos Experiment Runs (Project/Org)

Create a custom dashboard​

You can create your own dashboards to visualize the metrics that matter to your team. Complete the following steps.

  1. Select the nine-dot icon at the top of the left navigation bar.

Switch to the new experience

If you see a prompt to switch experiences, use the dropdown and select Switch to new experience.

The Switch to new experience option in the dropdown

You now see the dashboards home.

  1. Select + Create Dashboard. A right-side drawer opens.
The Create Dashboard drawer

  1. Enter a name and description. Add two mandatory tags so the RT module can identify and classify the dashboard:

    • Chaos
    • <Category>, where the category is one of Experiment Activity, Experiment Outcomes & Scores, or Authoring & People.

Tags are required

The Chaos tag and a category tag are mandatory. Without them, the RT module cannot identify or classify the dashboard, so it does not appear in the module's Dashboards section.

  1. Select Submit. You land on the new, empty dashboard.

  1. Select + Add Widget to start adding widgets (individual tables or graphs).
The Add Widget button on the dashboard
  1. Select Data Widget.
The Data Widget option
  1. Toggle Code View.
The Code View toggle on the widget editor
  1. Enter a name and description for the widget, then write your query in the Query text area. Go to Dashboard query schema to review the available event and entity types.

  1. Choose a visualization. The available visualizations are:

    • Table View
    • Metric Card
    • Donut Chart
    • Bar Chart
    • Column Chart
    • Line Chart
    • Area Chart
    • Scatter Chart

    This example uses a Donut Chart.

  1. Select Add Widget at the top right to save the widget.
The Add Widget button at the top right of the widget editor
  1. The dashboard shows the widget you added. Add any remaining widgets, then select Save at the top right.

Your custom dashboard now appears in the Dashboards section, filtered under the category you tagged it with, and you can open it to see the widgets you created.

RBAC considerations​

Dashboards fall under the Shared Resources category, with View and Manage permissions:

  • View: Required to see the RT module in-product dashboards.
  • Manage: Required to create your own dashboards.

Go to RBAC in Harness to configure roles and permissions.
