Dashboardit

DashboardIt is a software platform for building, deploying, and sharing dashboards that consolidate metrics, logs, and events from multiple data sources. It is used to monitor IT operations, analyze business metrics, and visualize data trends in a unified interface.

The architecture generally comprises a data connectors layer, a data model, a rendering engine with a library of visual widgets, and a dashboard editor. Connectors pull data from sources such as SQL databases, time-series stores, search engines, cloud services, and streaming platforms. A widget-based editor lets users construct dashboards by arranging charts, tables, heatmaps, and alerts.

Key features include real-time or scheduled data refresh, templating for reusable dashboards, role-based access control, version control, and collaboration features to share dashboards across teams. Many implementations offer an API for programmatic dashboard creation, as well as alerting and notification integrations.

Deployment options typically include cloud-hosted SaaS, on-premises, or hybrid deployments, with options for multi-tenant environments and secure data handling, encryption, and audit logging.

In the ecosystem, DashboardIt sits among established dashboard and observability tools, with similarities to Grafana, Kibana, Tableau, and Power BI, but it emphasizes extensibility through plugins and a focus on IT operations workflows.
