Dashboards

Harness Custom Dashboards provide a fully integrated BI experience powered by IaCM data, offering deep visibility into workspace metrics and insights not typically surfaced elsewhere in the platform.

Use Cases​

The IaCM Dashboard is designed to help you:

  • Visualize the count of workspaces by organization and project.
  • List modules in use and identify how many workspaces are using them. Learn more about Harness module registry
  • Create visualizations based on workspace tags (e.g., "team:europe") to better understand resource allocation.
  • Monitor provider compliance across your infrastructure:
    • Track what percentage of workspaces are using OpenTofu or Terraform.
    • Identify projects using outdated or non-compliant provider versions
    • Ensure standardization across cloud providers and tools
OpenTofu migration

Harness supports all OpenTofu versions, and Terraform MPL versions up to 1.5.x, any BSL versions (from 1.6.0) are not supported. Follow this OpenTofu migration guide to transition from Terraform to OpenTofu and leverage the benefits of this open-source alternative.

Create a new IaCM dashboard to visualize your workspace data, from the count of workspaces by organization and project to modules in use and workspace tags.
