# Dashboard

Grafana is a cross-platform open source visual analysis tool. Insight uses open source Grafana
to provide monitoring services, and supports viewing resource consumption from multiple dimensions
such as clusters, nodes, and namespaces.

For more information on open source Grafana, see
[Grafana Official Documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/getting-started/?spm=a2c4g.11186623.0.0.1f34de53ksAH9a).

## Steps

1. Select __Dashboard__ from the left navigation panel.

    - In the __Insight / Overview__ dashboard, you can view the resource usage of multiple clusters and analyze resource usage, network, storage, and more based on dimensions such as namespaces and container groups.

    - Click the dropdown menu in the upper-left corner of the dashboard to switch between clusters.

    - Click the lower-right corner of the dashboard to switch the time range for queries.
