Automation dashboard features

Demonstrate value and ROI

Easily track key metrics like time savings, job success, and ROI with customizable filters. You'll have the data you need to prove the value of your automation investment and share successes with key stakeholders.

Make smarter, data-driven decisions

Get real-time, actionable insights into your automation usage and impact. The dashboard helps you analyze your IT operations and make smarter decisions based on real data.

Report and share your automation metrics

The on-premise, self-contained utility protects your data while providing flexible reporting options. You can schedule reports and easily ingest the data into your existing business intelligence (BI) tools.

Optimize your automation investment

Achieve full visibility into your entire automation deployment, including both direct and indirect nodes. Address over- and under-utilization of your Red Hat subscription, ensuring you're getting the most out of your investment.

Automation analytics features

View ROI and predict future savings

Use the automation calculator to track and measure the total value of your automation efforts by time and financial savings. And the savings planner can project the 1- to 3-year time and cost savings for each automation task—helping you prioritize your work.

Monitor automation

Use our curated collection of our most-requested reports to measure and optimize your automation. You can visualize changes made, identify problems with templates, evaluate module usage by team, track most-used modules, and more.

Track automation jobs

Use the job explorer dashboard to help you quickly visualize why an automation job failed, how to fix the issue, and how to adapt your automation to avoid issues in the future. You can see details such as which teams ran which playbooks, when each job failed, and the cluster where each job ran.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a subscription to use either the automation dashboard or automation analytics?

Access to both features are included with a Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription.

What’s the difference between the automation dashboard and automation analytics?

While these tools offer similar reporting and insights for measuring automation ROI, cost savings, and job success, the automation dashboard is deployed on premise as a self-contained utility to ensure your data is protected within your own environment. It automatically syncs to your current Ansible Automation Platform instances.

Automation analytics is a cloud-based service and is accessed via the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. For Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 or earlier, you must activate automation analytics in order to use the service.
