SLA dashboard examples

An SLA dashboard shows in real time whether your support team is meeting the response time commitments you've made to customers. When a ticket is at risk of breaching an SLA, the dashboard makes it visible early enough to act — before it becomes a violation.

Build your own SLA dashboard

This support team has a Service Level Agreement which relates to response time, in particular they will respond to customer queries within 15 minutes. This dashboard instantly shows if the team is violating that agreement, as well as showing their performance over the past month.

It’s worth noting that although metrics like First Response Time are useful for tracking overall team performance, because FRT is an average, it will not reveal binary measures of performance like SLA violations. That’s why, in this case, the team has chosen to track both metrics using a dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

What is an SLA dashboard?
An SLA dashboard gives support managers a real-time view of how the team is performing against service level agreements — tracking whether tickets and calls are being answered and resolved within committed timeframes. It's used by support teams with contractual SLAs who need to monitor compliance throughout the day, not just at month end.

What is Geckoboard?
Geckoboard is a live dashboard tool that connects to Zendesk, Aircall, and other support platforms to give customer service teams a real-time view of SLA compliance. Dashboards update continuously so managers can act on tickets at risk before they become breaches — rather than reviewing SLA performance after the fact.

What metrics does an SLA dashboard track?
Key metrics include SLA compliance rate, tickets breaching SLA, average first response time, average resolution time, tickets at risk of breaching, and SLA performance by priority level. Call center teams also track calls answered within target wait time.

How do I build an SLA dashboard?
Building a custom SLA dashboard is straightforward with Geckoboard's dashboard builder. Connect Zendesk Support, Aircall, or RingCentral to pull SLA and response time data in real time, then pick your metrics and build the view you need. Share with your team as a TV dashboard, shared link, or scheduled snapshot.

What can I use an SLA dashboard for?
Use it to monitor performance in real time so support managers can see which tickets are about to breach SLA and reassign them before it happens. It also helps deliver executive visibility into SLA compliance for leadership and clients who need confidence that support commitments are being met.
