Overview
A dashboard visualization mechanism that configures monitoring panels for displaying metric trends, counters, distributions, and test results.
Description
Dashboard Panel Configuration adds visual panels to an Evidently monitoring project dashboard. Each panel type serves a different visualization purpose:
- DashboardPanelCounter: Single-value counter (latest value, sum, etc.)
- DashboardPanelPlot: Time-series line, bar, or scatter plots of metric values
- DashboardPanelHistogram (Distribution): Distribution histograms of metric values
- DashboardPanelTestSuite: Test pass/fail summaries
Panels reference specific metrics via PanelValue objects that identify the metric by its metric_id and the specific field_path within the result.
Usage
Use after creating a Project to configure the monitoring dashboard. Add panels before or after adding snapshots.
Theoretical Basis
Dashboard panels follow a declarative visualization pattern:
# Pseudocode: Declarative panel specification
panel = plot_panel(
title="Drift Score Over Time",
metric_ref=ValueDrift(column="age").metric_id,
field="value",
plot_type="LINE",
)
project.dashboard.add_panel(panel)
