+
+The {coo-first} can install and manage UI plugins to enhance the observability capabilities of the OpenShift web console. The plugins extend the default functionality, providing new UI features for monitoring, troubleshooting, distributed tracing, and cluster logging.
+
+== Dashboards
+
+The dashboard UI plugin supports enhanced dashboards in the OpenShift web console at *Observe* -> *Dashboards* . You can add other Prometheus datasources from the cluster to the default dashboards, in addition to the in-cluster datasource. This results in a unified observability experience across different data sources.
+
+== Troubleshooting
+
+The troubleshooting panel UI plugin provides observability signal correlation, powered by the open source Korrel8r project. With the troubleshooting panel available under *Observe* -> *Alerting* , you can easily correlate metrics, logs, alerts, netflows, and additional observability signals and resources, across different data stores.
+The output of Korrel8r is displayed in the form of an interactive node graph. When you click on a node, you are automatically redirected to the corresponding web console page with the specific information for that node, for example, metric, log, pod, etc. 
+
+== Distributed tracing
+
+The distributed tracing UI plugin adds tracing-related features to the OpenShift web console under *Observe* -> *Traces*. You can follow requests through the front end and into the backend of microservices, helping you identify code errors and performance bottlenecks in distributed systems. Select a supported Tempo insance running the cluster, and set a time range and query, to view the trace data. 
+
+== CLuster logging
+
+The logging UI plugin surfaces logging data in the OpenShift web console under *Observe* -> *Logs*. You can specify filters, queries, time ranges and refresh rates, with the results displayed a list of collapsed logs, which can then be expanded to show more detailed information for each log.
