# Operational panels
|
|
|
|
Operational panels in OpenSearch Dashboards are collections of visualizations generated using [Piped Processing Language]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/ppl/index) (PPL) queries.
|
|
|
|
## Get started with operational panels
|
|
|
|
If you want to start using operational panels without adding any data, expand the **Action** menu, choose **Add samples**, and Dashboards adds a set of operational panels with saved visualizations for you to explore.
|
|
|
|
## Create an operational panel
|
|
|
|
To create an operational panel and add visualizations:
|
|
|
|
1. From the **Add Visualization** dropdown menu, choose **Select Existing Visualization** or **Create New Visualization**, which takes you to the [event analytics]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/event-analytics) explorer, where you can use PPL to create visualizations.
|
|
1. If you're adding already existing visualizations, choose a visualization from the dropdown menu.
|
|
1. Choose **Add**.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
To search for a particular visualization in your operation panels, use PPL queries to search for data you've already added to your panel.
