Dashboards (BigQuery)
Unravel collects metadata pertaining to the following and other relevant information from your BigQuery account for monitoring and analytical purposes:
Reservations
Capacity commitments
Queries
Billing data
Projects
Storage
This data is then visually presented through a range of insights, tables, and trend graphs from the Unravel user interface.
You can harness this collected metadata to construct custom dashboards tailored to your specific needs. For example, if your objective is to track the daily Slot MS consumption in BigQuery queries, you can effectively use the Slot MS metadata within Unravel to design a customized dashboard that precisely meets your use case.
Unravel provides the following default dashboards in BigQuery. These can be used as a foundation to create new customized dashboards.
