Cut Through the Noise With Custom Dashboard Queries

Date: February 25th
Time: 11:00 am ET
Location: Microsoft Teams Townhall

Ever opened a monitoring dashboard and felt like it was shouting every metric at you except the one you actually needed? You're not alone. In modern IT environments, where hybrid workloads, constant alerts, and mystery spikes are the daily norm, visibility only matters if it’s your visibility.

In this practical Skills 101 session, we’ll show you how to take control of Foglight by building custom UI queries that surface exactly what matters. You’ll learn how to shape Foglight into a clean, focused command center tailored to your role.

You will:

  • Explore how UI queries work and how they drive customizable, dynamic Foglight dashboards
  • Build queries that highlight your critical metrics across databases, apps, and infrastructure
  • Reduce dashboard noise while boosting clarity, accuracy, and real-time insight
  • Align monitoring views with business priorities, whether you're supporting SLAs, troubleshooting performance, or keeping leadership calm during quarterly peaks

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can Foglight just show me what I need without yelling at me about everything else?” this Skills 101 session has your answer.
