> Create and manage custom dashboards to visualize metrics, logs, and traces in Last9

Source: https://last9.io/docs/dashboards/

Dashboards in Last9 let you build custom visualizations that bring together metrics, logs, and traces in a single view. Use them to monitor application health, track key performance indicators, and investigate issues across your infrastructure.

## Accessing Dashboards

Navigate to [**Dashboards**](https://app.last9.io/dashboards) in the left sidebar to view all your dashboards.

The dashboards list shows each dashboard's **Name**, **Author**, and **Last updated** time. Use the search bar to find dashboards by name or author. The **⋮** menu on each row lets you duplicate or delete a dashboard.

Click **+ New Dashboard** in the top-right corner to create a new dashboard.

## Telemetry Types

Each dashboard panel can query one of the following telemetry types:

| Telemetry Type | Query Modes              | Use Cases                                                       |
| -------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Metrics        | PromQL                   | Infrastructure monitoring, application metrics, custom counters |
| Logs           | Builder mode, LogQL mode | Log volume analysis, error tracking, pattern detection          |
| Traces         | Query Builder            | Latency monitoring, error rate tracking, request flow analysis  |

## What You Can Do

- **[Create dashboards](/docs/creating-dashboards/)** from scratch or by promoting queries from the Logs and Traces explorers
- **[Use dashboards](/docs/using-dashboards/)** with variables, time controls, and sharing to collaborate with your team

:::tip
You can also create dashboards directly from the [Logs Explorer](/docs/creating-log-analytics-dashboards-from-logs-explorer/) and [Traces Explorer](/docs/creating-trace-analytics-dashboards-from-traces-explorer/) by promoting aggregated queries.
