We added an automatic **System** dashboard template for visualizing host metrics collected by the [Honeybadger CLI agent](https://docs.honeybadger.io/resources/cli/#agent).

![System dashboard showing three line charts over a 3-hour PST window: Load Average (peaks near 0.15), Memory Used (stable ~50%), and Disk Used (~15–20% across /dev/vda1, vda15, vda16).](https://www-files.honeybadger.io/changelog/system-dashboard/system-dashboard.png)

The dashboard includes three widgets, which you can also add to your existing dashboards from the [widget library](https://docs.honeybadger.io/guides/dashboards/#widget-library):

- **Load Average** — Line chart showing CPU load averages at 1, 5, and 15-minute intervals
- **Memory Used** — Line chart showing memory usage as a percentage over time
- **Disk Used** — Line chart showing disk usage percentage per device, so you can see at a glance which volume is filling up

## Reporting host metrics to Honeybadger

To use the System dashboard, you'll need the [Honeybadger CLI agent](https://docs.honeybadger.io/resources/cli/#agent) installed and sending system metrics to Insights. See the [host metrics docs](https://docs.honeybadger.io/guides/insights/integrations/host-metrics/) for setup instructions.

Once you're reporting data, [create a new dashboard](https://docs.honeybadger.io/guides/dashboards/#getting-started) and select the **System** template from the template picker.

See the [dashboards guide](https://docs.honeybadger.io/guides/dashboards/) for more on working with dashboards.
