# Monitoring

The **Monitoring** page in Qubitro provides a way to view and manage dashboards and blueprints.

### **Dashboards**

### FAQ

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between Dashboards and Blueprints?</summary>

Both Dashboards and Blueprints help visualize data, but they serve different purposes:

* **Dashboards**: Created using templates, imported JSON files, or customized layouts to display real-time and historical data.
* **Blueprints**: Use dashboards as templates to automatically generate multiple dashboards for different devices and keep them updated consistently.
