You can use dashboard filters to monitor multiple hosts within a single dashboard. You can create a filter based on properties (resource or instance properties) that dynamically update all widgets that meet the defined criteria in the configured filter.

Default Filters

When you create a filter, you can save it as a default filter view to enable you to duplicate dashboard-level filtering. This eliminates the need to manually re-create the filter for each new dashboard, and ensures a streamlined and consistent dashboard setup process. The default filter helps the users that leverage your dashboard to understand which property keys are applicable and relevant to the dashboard.

In addition, when you clone a dashboard, the dashboard’s associated filters are also cloned to create a default filter for the new, cloned dashboard.

Users that leverage the default filter can save the filter as a user-level filter and rename as needed, without impacting the default filter configuration.

When you create the default filter, you add resource and instance properties to create the filter, and then set the filter you created as the default filter. You can create the default filter using the filter settings in the dashboard.
