Live Monitoring Dashboards

Swifty Team Mar 18, 2026 3 min read

Operations teams need two kinds of information in proximity: the business state (orders, customers, tickets, fulfillment) and the operational state (service health, error rates, response times, deployment status). These two types of data live in different systems, but the people making decisions need both.

Live monitoring dashboards bring infrastructure and service health data directly into Swifty.

Monitoring Data as a Data Source

Monitoring services are registered as data sources in Swifty. Once configured with workspace credentials, the monitoring service's metrics and alerts are available in the data source picker throughout the builder.

Connect a chart component to a monitoring data source and the chart shows service metrics over time. Connect a metrics card to a monitoring data source and it shows current uptime, error rate, or response time. The same components used for business data work for monitoring data.

What You Can Build

Service health dashboard: A row of metrics cards showing uptime and error rate for each service, color-coded by threshold — green when healthy, yellow when degraded, red when down.

Combined operations view: Your order processing rate alongside your fulfillment service's request latency. See the relationship between business volume and infrastructure load.

Alert feed: A live list of active alerts from your monitoring system, alongside your internal incident records — both visible in the same panel.

Deployment impact view: Deployment events overlaid on a metrics chart, showing how each deployment affected response times or error rates.

Auto-Refresh

Monitoring data dashboards refresh on a configurable interval — every 30 seconds, every minute, every 5 minutes. The auto-refresh applies to specific components or the entire page. Metrics update in place without any visible reload. Alerts clear automatically when the underlying condition resolves.

This makes monitoring dashboards suitable for display screens in operations centers — always current, no manual refresh required.

Credential Management

Monitoring service credentials are stored per workspace in the integration settings panel. Credentials are encrypted and never exposed in the builder configuration. Each workspace manages its own connections independently.

Multiple monitoring integrations can be active simultaneously. A workspace with both application monitoring and infrastructure monitoring can draw from both in the same dashboard.
