Metric Heatmap
Use the Metric Heatmap for quick visual indicators on the current health of metrics. Each cell represents a specific metric and cells will remain green if the current status is healthy, otherwise red or orange depending on the severity of an active incident for that metric. Hovering over the cell will provide details on that metric and instance. Like most widgets, you can scope the results to specific instances and metrics using a variety of filtering options.
