Install and view Windows dashboards and alerts

The Grafana Cloud Windows integration comes with a number of pre-built dashboards and alerts that you can use immediately. In this step of the journey, you install those dashboards and alerts.

Did you know?

You aren’t limited to using the pre-built dashboards and alerts. You can create your own dashboards and alerts.

To install and view Windows dashboards and alerts:

  1. In the Install dashboards and alerts section of Grafana Cloud, click Install.

    You should see the following message: Dashboards and alerts have been installed.

  2. To view dashboards, click View Dashboards.

    A folder containing the integration dashboards appears.

  3. To see the installed alerts, navigate to Alerts & IRM > Alerting > Alert rules.

    The Alert rules page shows all active alerts. Windows integration alerts typically begin with Windows, for example, WindowsCPUHighUsage.
