Dashboarding
Dashboarding is the beating heart of SquaredUp. Everything the application does is built around helping you turn complex, scattered data into clear, interactive dashboards that drive operational intelligence.
SquaredUp’s dashboarding features give you the freedom to visualize all of your data in multiple ways, monitor system health, report KPIs and much more. And all of this while maintaining consistency, speed, and accuracy at scale. The result is dashboards that not only look good, but actually help your team operate better.
What makes SquaredUp dashboards different
While traditional dashboards simply show the "what", modern operational environments demand to know the "why" and the "what to do next".
That's why SquaredUp goes far beyond traditional dashboard tools. Instead of static charts and disconnected widgets, you get intelligent dashboards that update with live data, react to user input, and surface the insights that matter most as conditions change.
Even better, the clever architecture of the Map enables deep object-awareness that powers features such as drilldown, dashboard variables and perspectives.
The result is an experience that goes far beyond simply visualizing data. A well-built dashboard becomes an interactive contextual portal into your environment, through which teams can explore relationships and uncover root causes; leading to faster, better-informed decisions.

Finding the right dashboard for you
SquaredUp dashboards can be shaped to fit a wide range of operational needs across teams and industries; whether you are monitoring infrastructure, supporting customers, or managing complex services.
The following examples illustrate how different teams put SquaredUp dashboards to work:
- DevOps performance and reliability dashboards:
Visualize deployment pipelines, release frequency, error rates, and service health in one place. Use dashboard variables to switch between environments and drill down into failing components to accelerate root-cause analysis. - MSP customer service overview dashboards:
Provide each client with a tailored operational view using variables to toggle between customers. Monitor uptime, SLA compliance, ticket volume, and device health. Configure notifications to highlight issues before they escalate. - Service desk incident and triage dashboards:
Consolidate incidents, alerts, and service disruptions from multiple tools into a single, actionable workspace. Setup notifications to ensure that critical issues reach the right stakeholders. - Platform and infrastructure monitoring dashboards:
Bring cloud, on-prem, and third-party metrics together to track compute, network, and application health. Configure dashboard variables to allow filtering by region, subscription, or cluster so teams can focus on the areas that matter most. - Business service and application health dashboards:
Map end-to-end service dependencies to understand how components relate and where failures originate. Dashboards surface object health, KPIs, and transaction performance.
Working with dashboards
Building effective dashboards in SquaredUp is more than just placing tiles on a screen. It’s about combining logic, structure, and presentation in a way that reveals insight with clarity and speed. SquaredUp provides a comprehensive set of tools that help your dashboards tell the story you want.
The following features form the core of the dashboarding workflow and give you the flexibility to build anything from simple status views to complex, data-rich operational portals.
Dashboards
Dashboards are the canvas where your data comes together in SquaredUp. Each dashboard is made up of tiles that surface insights from your connected data sources, enriched with contextual logic such as variables, drilldowns, and perspectives.
Dashboards can be as simple or as sophisticated as you need. They might provide a high-level overview of service health, a tightly focused operational view for a specific team, or a deep analytical workspace for investigating an issue.
Regardless of complexity, every dashboard is powered by live data and object-awareness, ensuring that what you see is always current and meaningful.

Tiles
Tiles are the core building blocks of dashboards and come in various formats. Each tile can display a specific visualization, image or even embedded content. Tiles can be arranged, resized, and customized to suit different reporting needs.
See Tiles to learn more.
Expressions
Expressions allow alter you to alter how a piece of data is displayed or to create new data entirely by use of format expressions and value expressions.
See Expressions to learn more.
Timeframes
Timeframes control the temporal scope of the data that displays. You can apply predefined or custom ranges (such as rolling windows, calendar periods, or comparative intervals) to analyze trends and understand performance over time.
See Timeframes to learn more.
SQL Analytics
SQL Analytics mode delivers advanced capabilities for data exploration and manipulation.
You can can write SQL statements to retrieve, join, and transform and even combine datasets before visualizing results in tiles. This enables much deeper analysis, beyond predefined datasets, and supports complex reporting requirements.
See SQL Analytics to learn more.
Workspaces
Workspaces organize dashboards into logical groups. Each workspace has its own dashboards, data sources, monitors and collections. They help you manage collaboration by keeping these elements coherently structured.
