### Making a JSON Schema

* A JSON schema serves as a structured template for creating monitoring dashboards. Please Refer to this for Example: [Json Schema Template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ApicaSystem/apica-installation/main/schemas/boomi-linux.json)
* Here are its components:
  * Tabs: Organize widgets into tabs for easy navigation and categorization of metrics and queries.
  * Header: Includes options for date-time range selection and dropdown menus for selecting specific atoms (monitored systems or nodes), allowing global control over all widget time ranges (Relative and Absolute).
  * Queries List: Each tab contains a list of queries that retrieve specific metric data from the monitoring system. Specifying an alert key automatically creates an alert with defined options.
