## Introduction:
As we approach the culmination of our series on automating vSAN policy application, this second-to-last blog post is dedicated to the creation of an intuitive and informative dashboard. Dashboards serve as a swift and effective means of presenting crucial information. Let’s delve into the steps of creating a dashboard that brings clarity to vSAN policies.

## Dashboard Creation Process

#### 1. Utilizing Two Views

Our dashboard will incorporate two views, one of which needs to be created manually. The second view comes ready-made out of the box. Both views, along with the dashboard itself, can be downloaded view1 and view2.

#### 2. Dashboard Download Link

To simplify the process, I’ve uploaded the dashboard for direct download here.

#### Configuration File Renaming:

If you’ve renamed the configuration files, as explained in the initial blog of this series, ensure to re-point them in the dashboard. This is crucial for seamless integration.

#### Custom Group Adjustment:

Likewise, if you’ve made changes to custom groups, especially those containing “RAID” in their name, remember to re-point all relevant widgets in the dashboard.

### Data Visibility:

Once everything is configured correctly, every widget on the dashboard should showcase the desired data. Note that data visibility might take up to 20 minutes in some cases.
