Dashboard Builder

Use this when the task is to build a dashboard people can operate from.

The goal is not "show every metric." The goal is to answer:

  • is it healthy?
  • where is the bottleneck?
  • what changed?
  • what action should someone take?

When to Use

  • "Build a Kafka monitoring dashboard"
  • "Create a Grafana dashboard for Elasticsearch"
  • "Make a SigNoz dashboard for this service"
  • "Turn this metrics list into a real operational dashboard"

Guardrails

  • do not start from visual layout; start from operator questions
  • do not include every available metric just because it exists
  • do not mix health, throughput, and resource panels without structure
  • do not ship panels without titles, units, and sane thresholds

Workflow

1. Define the operating questions

Organize around:

  • health / availability
  • latency / performance
  • throughput / volume
  • saturation / resources
  • service-specific risk

2. Study the target platform schema

Inspect existing dashboards first:

  • JSON structure
  • query language
  • variables
  • threshold styling
  • section layout

3. Build the minimum useful board

Recommended structure:

  1. overview
  2. performance
  3. resources
  4. service-specific section

4. Cut vanity panels

Every panel should answer a real question. If it does not, remove it.

Example Panel Sets

Elasticsearch

  • cluster health
  • shard allocation
  • search latency
  • indexing rate
  • JVM heap / GC

Kafka

  • broker count
  • under-replicated partitions
  • messages in / out
  • consumer lag
  • disk and network pressure

API gateway / ingress

  • request rate
  • p50 / p95 / p99 latency
  • error rate
  • upstream health
  • active connections

Quality Checklist

  • valid dashboard JSON
  • clear section grouping
  • titles and units are present
  • thresholds/status colors are meaningful
  • variables exist for common filters
  • default time range and refresh are sensible
  • no vanity panels with no operator value

Whole site or product — a full web accessibility (a11y) audit against WCAG 2.2, following the WCAG-EM methodology. Defines scope, samples representative pages and flows, runs the automated tier (`accessibility-scan`) and the hands-on manual tier (`accessibility-inspect`), and produces one conformance report. Grades each finding by severity and evidence basis, and states per-criterion conformance as pass, fail, or undetermined (needs a human). Use it for 'audit my site for accessibility', 'is this product accessible', 'a11y audit', 'WCAG or Section 508 conformance report', or any multi-page assessment. Assesses; does not fix (use `accessibility-fix`) or diff (use `accessibility-diff`). For a single page use `accessibility-scan`; for hands-on keyboard and screen-reader checks use `accessibility-inspect`.

Regression check — diff a live page's web accessibility (a11y) violations against a baseline. By default it compares your uncommitted changes (stash-based); pass `--branch [<name>]` to compare against a branch. Reports the new WCAG violations introduced, the ones fixed, and the count of pre-existing ones. Use it for 'did my change break accessibility', 'what a11y issues did this PR add', or as a CI gate. For a full scan of one page use `accessibility-scan`; for a whole site use `accessibility-audit`.

Remediation only — repair web accessibility (a11y) violations against WCAG 2.2 with a baseline, edit, and verify loop. Takes a target (URL, files, directory) or a findings worklist from `accessibility-scan`/`accessibility-inspect`/`accessibility-audit`, applies mechanical fixes as given, leaves TODOs for visual or contextual judgment, and verifies by re-running the baseline check. It only fixes. To find issues use `accessibility-scan` (one page, automated), `accessibility-inspect` (one page, manual), or `accessibility-audit` (whole site, WCAG-EM); to check for regressions use `accessibility-diff`. Use it for 'fix the a11y issues in X', 'make this accessible', 'add missing alt text and labels', 'apply these accessibility fixes', 'remediate these violations'.

One page, hands-on manual tier — drive a live page through the web accessibility (a11y) checks a rule engine can't decide: keyboard operation and focus order, screen-reader names, roles and states from the accessibility tree, reflow and zoom, reduced motion, form errors, and target size. Grades each finding by evidence basis (verified / confirm-with-a-human / human-required) and severity, and closes every criterion in a ledger: verified, flagged, not exercised, or N/A. Locates and assesses; does not fix (use `accessibility-fix`). Use it for keyboard testing, focus-order checks, screen-reader or a11y-tree review, reflow and zoom at 200%, or 'is this operable, not just lint-clean'. The automated tier is `accessibility-scan`; `accessibility-audit` runs both across a sampled site.

One page, automated tier — run the web accessibility (a11y) rule engine against a live page and locate every violation it can detect mechanically. Pass a URL, a config target name (e.g. `accesslint:accessibility-scan dev`), or nothing to use the default target from `accesslint.config.json`. Ensures a debuggable Chrome, runs the @accesslint/core engine over CDP, and returns a worklist of live-DOM WCAG 2.2 violations, each grounded to its DOM selector and source `file:line`. Locates; doesn't edit. Use it for 'is this page accessible', 'check a11y on this URL', 'find contrast and alt-text issues', or to verify a UI change. For hands-on keyboard and screen-reader checks use `accessibility-inspect`; for a whole site or product use `accessibility-audit`; to diff against uncommitted changes or a branch use `accessibility-diff`.
