How to use the Resources tile

The Resources tile contains two different kinds of tiles:

The Matrix tile shows health state, performance metrics and other information for a list of monitored resources.
The Resources Summary tile allows you to show a summary of resources, resource groups and subscriptions.

How to configure a Resource tile

Create a new tile on a dashboard or perspective and select the Resource tile.
Choose the type of Resource tile you want to configure:
Matrix
See How to use the Matrix tile
Summary
Summary Scalar
The Summary Scalar visualization allows you to show the total number of all resources in a scope. For example you might set the scope to a particular subscription, then filter by type to show virtual machines and change the unit to 'VMs'.
Summary Grid
The Summary Grid visualization allows you to show a table representation of the total number of resources for the scope and grouping you have specified. You can also group and sort the table.
Summary Bar
The Summary Bar visualization shows you a graph representation of the total number of resources for the scope and grouping you specify.

Scope:

Select the scope for your tile.

Tip: If you experience any problems with scoping tiles, you'll find FAQs and help in the article How to scope tiles.

Note: By default, results are shown across all subscriptions (unless the subscription option is chosen to specify only one or more subscriptions).

Filter by tenant	By default results are shown across all tenants. In Dashboard Server 4.7 and above a user who has access to multiple tenants will see a filter by tenant option. If you see the message "You do not have access to all of the tenants currently selected" or "Tenant ID could not be resolved" In a multi-tenant environment a user who does not have access to all tenants will see this message if they attempt to edit a scope containing tenants that they do not have access to. This may be because: One Dashboard Server admin has added a tile scoped to tenants that other Dashboard Server admins do not have permissions to. The customer/tenant is no longer serviced by this Customer Service Provider (CSP), so the tenant has been permanently removed for all Dashboard Server admins. Symptoms A tile scope shows: "You do not have access to all of the tenants currently selected. Click here to reset which will remove those tenants from the scope." Tenants the user does not have access to show as: "Tenant ID could not be resolved" Procedure The message warns users that they do not have permissions to all the tenants in the scope. If the user chooses to reset and therefore edit the scope then the tenants that they do not have access to will be removed. If saved this scope will also have those tenants removed for users who do have access to them. It is not possible for the user to edit the scope without those tenants being removed from the scope. Where a tenant has been removed permanently you may wish to reset the scope to remove the unresolvable tenants.
List	List allows you to select several individual items to show. You can add multiple items. To remove an item click the x to the right of its name. Tip: Start typing and after two characters you'll see suggestions that match the name appear. Note: It depends on the tile what happens when you select more than one item. For example, when you select two virtual machines for a Status tile, you'll see the status of those VMs individually. When you select two virtual machines for a Cost Management tile, you'll see the cost for the two VMs added together.
Resource group	Select one or more resource groups. Filter by type: Tick filter by type to only show resources of a particular type within the chosen resource group.
Subscription	Select one or more subscriptions from the dropdown box if you wish to restrict results to only one or more subscriptions. When this is not used results are shown across all subscriptions. Filter by type: Tick filter by type to only show resources of a particular type within the chosen subscription.
Tags	Select items with a particular tag. Add the tag name and the tag value you want to use to search for. If you select multiple tags, the search automatically 'ANDs' the tags which means the scope only contains items which are tagged with all the tags listed. Filter by type: Tick filter by type to only show resources of a particular type within the chosen tag(s).
Type	Scope type can be used to show all resources of a particular type, for example all databases across all subscriptions, by typing `databases` and selecting `SQL databases`.
Show hidden types	This works in the same way as the Show hidden types option in the Azure portal. Hidden types include some ancillary resources which are created/managed by Azure infrastructure. It might be useful to display these resources when cleaning up your resource groups or subscriptions.

Configure the settings for your visualization:

Settings for Scalars

Scalar

Font size	Allows you to set the font size of the value in the tile.
Unit	Allows you to add a unit to the value displayed in the Scalar tile. For example, if your value shows a time in milliseconds, you can enter "ms" or if your value shows pageviews, you can enter "pageviews".
Value formatter	Allows you to format the value by using the mustache picker. For example, you can round the value up or down or convert it.

Color

Conditional formatting:

You can display the scalar in different colors based on conditions you defined here. For example, you can display the scalar in green when the value is below 100 and in red when it is above 100.

Click on add to configure a condition.
Click on select color.... to open the color picker. Select the color for this condition.
Enter your condition in the field next to the color. You can use the value property and manipulate it with JavaScript String and Regex APIs. When you click on the mustache picker, you'll get some examples:
- Value is greater than something, less than something, etc.
  For example: {{value < 10}} (The color you picked will be used if the value is less than 10)
- Value is present in the result
  For example: value.IndexOf('error') != -1 (The color you picked will be used if the string value "error" is present in the results)
- Value matches one of the regular expressions you defined
  For example: value.match(/healthy|good|up/) (The color you picked will be used if the string values are healthy, good, or up)

Display:

Here you decide how the color is used:

Tile background	Highlight the tile in the color you defined.
Text foreground	Display the text in the color you defined.

Link options

Allows you to turn the graph item(s) into links. You can either enter plain text to create a fixed link (URL always stays the same) or use dynamic properties to create a dynamic link.

Dynamic links make use of dynamic properties which are inserted as part of the URL. This creates a template URL that will be resolved to an actual URL based on the items properties.

For example, if you want to link to tickets in your ticket system and the format of the URL for tickets in your system is https://www.my-system/ticket-123, where 123 is the ticket ID, you can use the dynamic property that contains the ticket ID and enter the dynamic URL https://www.my-system/ticket-{{ticketID}}.

For scalars, you can only use the dynamic property value in dynamic links, which means the link changes when the value of the scalar changes. Since a scalar is just one item, it would also make sense to use a fixed link, for example the link to the website of which you are displaying the response time.
For status icon or bars and the rows of a grid, you usually want to use a dynamic link since you get multiple items or rows that represent different things. You can use any of the dynamic properties the mustache picker offers you.

Click done to save the tile.
The tile now shows data according to your settings.

Walkthrough: Using the Summary Grid tile to show a count of all virtual machines by VM size

This walkthrough shows you how to add a Summary Grid visualization to a dashboard.

Create a new tile and click Resources.
Click on the Summary Grid button.
In the scope panel add a resource group or subscription. Tick filter by type and in the box type Virtual machines.
In the grouping section click custom. In the label box type location / VM size. We're going to create a custom label.
In the value box copy and paste the following:
Copy
```
{{location}} / {{properties.hardwareProfile.vmSize}}
```
The mustache helper button to the right of the value box shows all the options available along with an example value. Instead of coping the mustache syntax above, you could select {{location}} from the dropdown list. Then type / and then click the mustache button again and select from the dropdown: {{properties.hardwareProfile.vmSize}}

For more information see How to use Custom Labels
In sort check that value and descending are selected.
Click done.
