Currently, this feature is behind the Feature Flags TIME_SCALE_CG_SYNC and CUSTOM_DASHBOARD_V2. Contact Harness Support to enable the feature.

The FirstGen custom dashboards in Harness NextGen display information for your Harness FirstGen deployments. See Harness FirstGen vs Harness NextGen.

Dashboards help you model and analyze business metrics and operational data. You can use this data to make data-driven business decisions. Using charts, data tables, and filters, Dashboards help you get the most useful deployments data.

  • Discover new analytical insights into your deployment frequency by Application and Pipeline
  • Track deployment status across different zones and time range in a logical and structured manner
  • View your deployments at a glance, understand the applications with the highest failure rate, analyze deployment status, etc.
