Hi @gnatola, Welcome to the community

What Version Stack?

What are you using to generate the monitors heartbeat, synthetics?

Hi Stephen,

Thanks. Version is 8.11. Using Heartbeats. Is Synthetics a better option?

No not necessarily...

So create a Dataview

`heartbeat-*`

The go to discover and look at the data...

The go to Lens and build a Viz

There are options it will take a little work.

Give it a try... Report Back

To be direct you can not just add the existing Uptime Viz to a custom Dashboard, you need to build your own..
