Hystrix Dashboard provides benefits to monitoring the set of metrics on a dashboard. It displays the health of each circuit-breaker in a very simple way. Let's include Hystrix Dashboard in your project by using the Starter with the org.springframework.cloudand group and the spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix-dashboard artifact ID:

<dependency> 
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> 
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix-dashboard</artifactId> 
</dependency>

We have to add in the pom.xml file. But it is not enough to add Hystrix Dashboard in your project, we have to add one more annotation, @EnableHystrixDashboard, to your Spring Boot main class:

@SpringBootApplication 
@EnableEurekaClient 
@EnableCircuitBreaker 
@EnableHystrixDashboard 
public class CustomerServiceApplication { 
 
   public static void main(String[] args) { 
         SpringApplication.run(CustomerServiceApplication.class, args); 
   } 
   ... 
} 

Now run the main class as a Spring Boot application to run Hystrix Dashboard in your project. You can visit /hystrix endpoint to see the dashboard for an individual-instance /hystrix.stream endpoint in a Hystrix client application. Let's access the http://localhost:6161/hystrix URI and see the following output on the browser:

The preceding diagram is a visual dashboard in its initial state. Now let's add the http://localhost:6161/actuator/hystrix.stream URI in the dashboard and click on the Monitor Stream button to get a meaningful dynamic visual representation of the circuit being monitored by the Hystrix component. Let's see the following visual dashboard after providing the stream input in the homepage:

Hystrix provides information about the individual instance using the /hystrix.stream endpoints, but in a distributed system, we must have more than one instance. So, getting a collaborated view about all instances in a distributed system is not possible with Hystrix Dashboard. Spring Cloud Netflix provides a solution to aggregate all the information about all the instances, which is Turbine. Let's discuss it in the next section.
