Dashboards

Using the taskbar on the left, you can click on the topmost button to open a list of the available dashboards, that you can use to monitor your SQL Server instances.

QMonitor uses Grafana dashboards: Grafana is a powerful data analytics platform that provides advanced dashboarding capabilities and represents a de-facto standard for monitoring and observability applications.

All the data in the dashboards can be filtered using the time filter on the top right corner: it offers predefined quick time ranges, like “Last 5 minutes”, “Last 1 hour”, “Last 7 days” and so on. These are usually the easiest way to select the time range.

If you want, you can also use absolute time ranges, that you can select with the calendar on the left side of the time picker popup. You can use the calendar buttons on the From and To fields to pick a date or you can enter the time range manually.
