All panels use the selected time range, making it easier to compare related cost, usage, reliability, and governance trends.

Dashboard panel types#

Dashboards support four panel types:

  • Metric cards — Display a single summary metric, such as request count, success rate, spend, or token usage.
  • Chart panels — Visualize trends and comparisons over time.
  • Calendar panels — Show activity by date and provide a chronological view of events.
  • Table panels — Present detailed records and attributes in a structured format.

Panels can be added, resized, repositioned, and configured when building a custom dashboard.
