Best practices and ways to organize dashboards

FranciscoMPalos — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 05:50:02 GMT

Hello,

In our organization, we manage a large number of dashboards and would like to establish proper governance and control over them.

Our objective is to have clear standards not only for dashboard naming conventions, but also for aspects such as organization, ownership, permissions, lifecycle management, and overall governance.

For example, in other platforms we use mechanisms such as Spaces in Kibana and Organizations in Grafana to structure and manage dashboards at scale.

Are there any official guidelines, best practices, or community recommendations regarding:

Dashboard naming conventions
Foldering or organizational strategies
Access control and permissions regarding create and read dashboards.
Ownership and accountability
Dashboard lifecycle management (creation, review, deprecation, retirement)
Governance models for large-scale dashboard environments

Any documentation, experiences, or recommendations from other Dynatrace users would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards.
