Save dashboard widgets in reusable groups with Powerpacks

What's this blog post about?

Dashboards play a crucial role in visualizing and correlating monitoring data from various sources, technologies, and infrastructure components to understand an organization's environment better. As companies grow, it becomes essential to standardize how teams build their dashboards for consistency and legibility. Powerpacks are a new way to scale dashboard expertise by using templated groups of widgets that can be saved from existing dashboards and turned into reusable packs in the widget tray. These observability building blocks help break down silos, standardize monitoring patterns, and promote best practices across organizations. Powerpacks can be configured with variables to enable users to scope their widgets to relevant data and teams can access expertise by adding them to their dashboards. Datadog offers out-of-the-box Powerpacks for various products like RUM, Synthetic testing, Kubernetes monitoring, and infrastructure monitoring.
