# Visualizing telemetry data

Visualization tools present metrics and logs on charts and diagrams to help you analyze the system's condition and diagnose issues.

Visualization addresses three primary objectives:

* Current state monitoring: Real-time tracking of key indicators.
* Incident analysis: Searching for causes of failures through correlation of data from multiple sources.
* Resource planning: Evaluating consumption trends and forecasting loads.

Visualization tools:

* [Dashboards](../operations/dashboard/create.md) combine multiple widgets on the same screen for integrated data presentation.
* Overview page gives a real-time view of the data. There is an overview page for each data type: [metrics](../metrics/metric-explorer.md), [logs](../logs/logs-explorer.md), and [traces](../traces/operations/traces-explorer.md).

You can filter chart data by time intervals, services, environments, etc. Also, you can also break the data down by specific attributes for a more detailed analysis.

You can create dashboards manually or use ready-made ones that come with the Yandex Cloud services.

## Service dashboards {#service-dashboards}

To view a dashboard with the most common metrics for a Yandex Cloud resource or service:

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Monium UI {#console}

  1. On the [Monium](https://monium.yandex.cloud) home page, select **Dashboards** on the left.
  1. Navigate to the **Service dashboards** tab.
  1. Find the service of interest and select it in the list.

     For example, **Compute** (to search for Compute Cloud dashboards) or **Logs Overview** (for Monium Logs).
  
     For descriptions of dashboards and metrics, refer to relevant guides.
  
  1. To make a custom dashboard out of the service dashboard's widgets, [copy the widgets](../operations/dashboard/widget-management.md) to your dashboard or [copy the entire dashboard](../operations/dashboard/copy.md).
