Dashboards
Development Insights dashboards visualize your engineering metrics, commits, pull requests, contributor activity, and more using interactive charts and tables. Dashboards are created automatically when the feature is enabled and populate with data as your repositories are imported.
Dashboard List
Opening Development Insights from the sidebar takes you to the dashboard list. This table shows all dashboards available to your organization with two columns:
- Dashboard Name — Click the name to open the dashboard.
- Provider — The data source the dashboard visualizes (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Jira).
Jira dashboards have an overflow menu (⋯) next to the provider name with a Manage Connections shortcut that takes you to the Jira Connections page.
If no dashboards appear, the feature may not be enabled or no repositories have been imported yet. Ask your administrator to verify that Development Insights is enabled.
Dashboard Controls
First, click a dashboard name in the list to open it. With an open dashboard, you have several controls to focus on the data that matters to you.
Date Range
Use the Date Range selector in the top-right corner to adjust the time window. Available ranges include:
- Last 15 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours
- Last 2 days, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days
- Last 6 months, 1 year
The default range is Last 30 days. All panels on the dashboard update when you change the date range.
Repository Filter
If the dashboard supports it, use the Repositories dropdown to filter data to specific repositories. You can select one or more repositories. When no filter is applied, the dashboard shows data across all repositories.
Template Variables
Some dashboards include additional filter controls (called template variables) at the top of the page. These vary by dashboard and may include dropdowns, interval selectors, or text inputs. Use them to refine the data shown in panels.
Jira Dashboard
The Jira dashboard visualizes issue and sprint data collected from your connected Jira projects. It works the same way as Git dashboards: Use the date range and variable filters at the top to refine what you see.
Before data appears, you need at least one Jira project configured on the Jira Connections page. The dashboard updates as data collection completes for each project.
Empty States
If you see a No repositories found message, it means the dashboard expects repository data that hasn't been collected yet. To resolve this, try the following steps:
- Ensure you have imported repositories for the relevant Git provider.
- Verify that Development Insights is enabled in Settings.
- Wait for data collection to complete.
Troubleshooting
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Dashboard shows no data | Check that repositories have been imported and data collection is complete (status: Synced). |
A panel shows Failed to load data | Refresh the page. If the issue persists, the data source may be temporarily unavailable. |
| Filters don't seem to work | Ensure you've selected at least one option and the date range covers the period you expect. |
| Dashboard list is empty | Ask your administrator to enable Development Insights in Settings. |
A panel type shows as not supported | This panel type hasn't been added to Venue.sh yet. The data is still being collected and will render when support is added. |
