Generate dashboard views using Gemini

Preview — Generative views

This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. You can process personal data for this feature as outlined in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, subject to the obligations and restrictions described in the agreement under which you access Google Cloud. Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

Database Center includes a feature called generative views, which uses Gemini to let you create customized dashboards by using natural language prompts. Instead of being limited to predefined layouts, you can describe the database fleet information and metrics that you want to view. Gemini processes these prompts to generate a dashboard layout of widgets and data visualizations that matches your request.

Generative views let you query your database fleet's state, configuration, and performance metrics. For example, you can request views showing resources with specific characteristics, such as resources with high CPU usage in a specific region, or databases that don't adhere to certain best practices. You can save the generated dashboards, which lets you return to these custom views to see updated data. You can also modify your original prompts to iterate on and generate new dashboards.
