This topic describes the configuration and usage of dashboards for monitoring and managing services within a Consul-managed Envoy service mesh. These dashboards provide critical insights into the health, performance, and resource utilization of services. The dashboards described here are essential tools for ensuring the stability, efficiency, and reliability of your service mesh environment. This page provides reference information about the Grafana dashboard configurations included in the `grafana` directory within the [Consul repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/tree/main/grafana).

# Service dashboard
This page provides reference information about the Grafana dashboard configuration included in [this GitHub repository](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/main/grafana/consulservicedashboard.json). The service dashboard offers an overview of the performance and health of individual services within the Consul service mesh. It provides insights into service availability, request success rates, latency, and connection metrics. This dashboard is essential for maintaining optimal service performance and quickly identifying any issues with service communications.

**Description:** This stat tracks the rate of failed requests (4xx and 5xx errors) for the selected service. It helps operators quickly identify if there are issues with client requests or server errors for a specific service.
**Description:** This stat tracks the rate of failed requests for the selected service according to 4xx and 5xx errors. It helps operators quickly identify if there are issues with client requests or server errors for a specific service.
**Description:** This gauge tracks the total number of failed requests over a 10-minute window, categorized by service. It allows for easy identification of services that are experiencing high failure rates.
