Summary

You can create a Server Overview dashboard in New Relic Insights by viewing key metrics about a server on a single dashboard. This is done by first navigating to Infrastructure's Compute page and clicking the small icon resembling a chart on an easel, which opens the underlying NRQL query in Insights. You can then customize the query, give it a title, and add it to a new dashboard. To display different charts such as CPU usage, memory used, total utilization, network throughput, and running processes, you need to modify the NRQL query accordingly. For example, to display a list of running processes, you would use a query that includes uniqueCount(processId), latest(userName), average(cpuPercent), and average(memoryResidentSizeBytes). You can also add widgets to your dashboard to display recent events and select an individual host for filtering. Creating custom dashboards is easy in New Relic Insights, as it allows you to easily see the status of an individual server at a glance by pulling key server metrics into a single dashboard.
