# How to Create Custom Widgets in Datadog

By default, IsDown creates a dashboard with some useful widgets that are more focused on real-time data and trying to understand what's wrong with your vendors quickly.

On this page, we'll list other widgets that should be available with the current data set sent from IsDown to Datadog.
