# Monitor resources

The Monitoring tab of the WLOC Administration Console contains a dashboard that enables you to construct graphs to chart metrics of services. Specifically, you can:

- Create views to organize charts according to your needs. For example, you can define one view that contains a set of charts to monitor your environment at a high-level. You can then define additional views to access more specific details, such as CPU usage on a specific set of JVMs.

- Develop custom metrics that are defined as functions of monitorable resource attributes.

- Set preferences to customize charts and graphs as desired.
