Review metrics on the NGINX One dashboard
After connecting your NGINX instances to NGINX One, you can monitor their performance and health. The NGINX One dashboard is designed for this purpose, offering an easy-to-use interface.
- Log in to F5 Distributed Console.
- Select NGINX One > Visit Service.
Navigating the dashboard:
- Drill down into specifics: For in-depth information on a specific metric, like expiring certificates, click on the relevant link in the metric’s card to go to a detailed overview page.
- Refine metric timeframe: Metrics show the last hour’s data by default. To view data from a different period, select the time interval you want from the drop-down menu.
