container

Powerpipe is now the recommended way to run dashboards and benchmarks! Mods still work as normal in Steampipe for now, but they are deprecated and will be removed in a future release:
Steampipe Unbundled →
Powerpipe for Steampipe users →

A container groups and arranges related items within a dashboard. For example, you may want to group together a number of different charts for a specific AWS service.

Containers can only be declared as anonymous blocks inside a dashboard or container.

Example Usage


container {
  title = "Side by Side Container Example"
  container {
    width = 6

    card {
      sql  = "select 1 as \"Left Side\""
    }
     card {
      sql  = "select 2 as \"Left Side\""
    }
  }

  container {
    width = 6
    card {
      sql  = "select 1 as \"Right Side\""
    }
     card {
      sql  = "select 2 as \"Right Side\""
    }
  }
}
