Dashboards

Use out-of-the-box dashboards and build your own custom dashboards in the Harness Resilience Testing module

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 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:

Create a custom dashboard

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

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.

Click to view full size

You now see the dashboards home.

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

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.

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

Select + Add Widget to start adding widgets (individual tables or graphs).

Select Data Widget.

Toggle Code View.

The Code View toggle on the widget editor

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.

Select Run Query to fetch data from Harness UDP.

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.

Select Add Widget at the top right to save the widget.

The Add Widget button at the top right of the widget editor

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.

Dashboard query schema

Custom dashboard widgets query Harness UDP using event and entity types. The following reference lists the available types and example queries.
