How do I create an entity dashboard for my entity type?

Hello,

I am working on the back of this question from 2021 that has no answer.

I have created a new custom entity type with one vital metric and I can see the information in the Infrastructure Overview dashboard with no issues for the entities of that type.  When I select a single entity and drill down I do not seem to have an entity dashboard associated as with the OOTB entity types.

What are the steps to create an entity dashboard for a specific entity type so that I can see metric data trend when I drill down to a single entity?

Thank you!

Andrew
