  • Dash (-) Results: Indicate operations that don't produce numerical results but were successfully executed
  • Information Icons: Hover over or click the information icons next to numerical results for additional context
  • Pending Upgrades: Non-zero values indicate packages awaiting updates that may require attention

Best Practices

  • Regularly monitor package management metrics to maintain system security and stability
  • Use the organization filter when managing multi-tenant environments
  • Export historical data periodically for long-term trend analysis and compliance reporting
  • Monitor both installed and upgraded packages to track system changes
  • Track pending upgrades to ensure timely security updates
  • Monitor operations across both Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud to maintain multi-cloud visibility
  • Use the sub-organizations filter to analyze metrics at different organizational levels
