For almost two years now, the Heroku Dashboard has provided a metrics page to display information about memory usage and CPU load for all of the dynos running an application. Additionally, we've been providing aggregate error metrics, as well as metrics from the Heroku router about incoming requests: average and P95 response time, counts by status, etc.

Almost all of this information is being slurped out of an application's log stream via the Log Runtime Metrics labs feature.

App Awareness and Discoverability

The new Heroku Dashboard features a fresh look and feel, optimized for readability and workflow efficiency.

The more apps you deploy to Heroku, the harder keeping track of them becomes. With Dashboard, you...
