After laying out the groundwork for this series in the initial article, I spent some time in the second article sharing who the observability players are. I also discussed the teams that these players are on in this world of cloud native o11y. For the third article I looked at the ongoing discussion around monitoring pillars versus phases. In the fourth article I talked about keeping your options open with open source standards. My last installment, the fifth article in this series, I talked about bringing monolithic applications into the cloud native o11y world. In my sixth article, I provided you with an introduction to a new open source dashboard and visualization project and shared how to install the project on your local developer machine. The seventh article I explored the API and tooling provided by the Perses project. Then I spent time in an article covering the open dashboard specification that you need to follow and then you started creating your first dashboard. Finally, in the previous article, you expanded your dashboard with a few charts, gauges, and rows.
In this article you'll complete the workshop and add a few advanced components to your dashboard.
