Organization Dashboards

Sean O'Dell
Director of Product Marketing and Developer Relations

One of the most common feature requests that I have heard throughout the years regarding platforms and software solutions is the need for dashboards. Personally, I have a love / hate relationship with the idea of a dashboard because they are often overly complicated, providing either far too much data or not the right data at all. As usual, the team at env0 attempts to provide a balance between usability and accessibility. 


Because we understand the difference in audience and consumption preferences, we have provided a few ways for you to consume the latest feature outside of this blog.

  • env0 docs - Organization Dashboards
  • Video from Tim Davis

‍

As a design principle, we at env0 belief the definition of a dashboard is as follows:

“Dashboards provide you with a broader and aggregated overview of the system usage.”

Based upon countless hours of speaking with SREs, DevOps practitioners, Iac Developers, and Management; we have decided to introduce Organization Dashboards that help solve the following areas of visibility:

  • Activity
  • Summary 

While my title may include “Director” in the name, I am a technologist at heart and prefer to focus on the value for SREs, Developers and practitioners first.

Activity

The goal of the Activity summary is to highlight the deployments, environments and activity associated with each.

Deployments Pie Chart

Percentage of all deployments by type:  

  • Deploy
  • Destroy
  • PR Plan

Top Deploying Users

All users, ordered by a total number of deployments from highest to lowest. The screenshot below also highlights the type of activity associated with each user.

Number of Deployments Per Day

This simple graph highlights a simple trend for each deployment type.

Active Environments Bar Chart

Shows the number of active environments at the moment the scheduled task was triggered (per day).

Active Environments Table

Contains all environments which can be filtered by several attributes such as name, project, status, etc…

Summary

The goal of Summary is to provide a high level overview of the most common questions that need an answer about your Teams, Projects, Deployments, and Environments.

Counts

Shows totals for the following:

  • Users
  • Teams
  • Projects
  • Templates

Environment Pie Chart

All environments, sliced by the following:

  • Active
  • Failed
  • Waiting for approval

Environments Table

This is the same exact table as found in the Activity section. We included this in both views based upon feedback from users.
‍

Additional Details

Excluded data
Archived projects and environments are excluded from the aggregations.
Calculations
The data presented in the dashboards is calculated during each page load or refresh. Except for the Active Environments bar chart, which is updated using a scheduled task, once a day.


Each of these views are meant to simplify the consumption of data because environments are large, deployments are changing regularly, and the amount of folks interacting with env0 on a regular basis.

If you have any feedback or thoughts on what else the env0 team should include in Activity, please let us know. We love the feedback and interaction with the community!

These items are required to enable basic website functionality.
Marketing
These items are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising networks usually place them with the website operator’s permission.
Personalization
These items allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, a website may provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing data about your current location.
Analytics
These items help the website operator understand how its website performs, how visitors interact with the site, and whether there may be technical issues. This storage type usually doesn’t collect information that identifies a visitor.
