Widget Configuration
To configure this widget, fill out all required sections and apply any filtering you need.
Displayed Metric Selector
In the widget, the displayed Metric selector allows you to choose which metric is used for the performance line in the bar for each monitor. This is also the metric used to show the average and last measured times to the right of each monitor status bar.
Monitors in Error State
The "Monitors in Error State" section lists the monitors that are currently in error state. In the configuration for each synthetic monitor, there is an "Error Tracking" section for which this dashboard uses to determine whether the monitor is in Error State.
Note the monitors do not "move" from the list into the "Monitors in Error State" section, instead they are duplicated into the section to preserve the ordering and view of the widget.
