Dashboard as remote computing services

A computer system implementing a computer dashboard as a cloud-based service in a cloud computing system, the computer system comprising:

• a processor and a memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the computer system to perform a process comprising:
• receiving a dashboard file, processing of the dashboard file by the processor providing a cloud-based dashboard service that collects and assembles operating conditions of a plurality of cloud-based services deployed in the cloud computing system, wherein the dashboard file identifying a dashboard having one or more graphical user interface elements individually configured to display data of the collected and assembled operating conditions of the plurality of cloud-based services, wherein the dashboard file further contains metadata indicating two or more entities allowed to access the dashboard and edit the dashboard file, and a cloud-based subscription corresponding to the cloud-based dashboard service;
• identifying the two or more entities based on the cloud-based subscription indicated in the metadata;
• displaying the cloud-based dashboard service identified by the dashboard file to the two or more entities upon verification of entity identification based on the cloud-based subscription in the metadata, the cloud-based dashboard service having the one or more graphical user interface elements individually displaying data of the collected and assembled operating conditions of the plurality of cloud-based services corresponding to the two or more entities;
• and
• accepting one or more revisions from one of the two or more entities allowed to access the dashboard and edit the dashboard file, and updating the dashboard file with the accepted one or more revisions.

A computer readable storage medium containing instructions executable by the processor to cause a server in a cloud computing system to perform a process comprising:

• receiving a request to access a dashboard file, processing of the dashboard file at the server providing a cloud-based dashboard service that collects and assembles operating conditions of a plurality of cloud-based services deployed in the cloud computing system, wherein the dashboard file identifying a dashboard having one or more graphical user interface elements individually configured to display data of the collected and assembled operating conditions of the plurality of cloud-based services, wherein the dashboard file further contains metadata indicating two or more entities allowed to access the dashboard and edit the dashboard file, and a cloud-based subscription corresponding to the cloud-based dashboard service;
• determining whether the received request is from the two or more entities based on the cloud-based subscription indicated in the metadata of the dashboard file;
• in response to determining that the received request is from the two or more entities based on the cloud-based subscription indicated in the metadata of the dashboard file, displaying the cloud-based dashboard service identified by the dashboard file to the two or more entities, the cloud-based dashboard service having the one or more graphical user interface elements individually displaying data of the collected and assembled operating conditions of the plurality of cloud-based services corresponding to the two or more entities;
• and
• accepting one or more revisions from one of the two or more entities allowed to access the dashboard and edit the dashboard file, and updating the dashboard file with the accepted one or more revisions.
