Not to knock the live dashboard but from what I read on IRC you will still likely need to use New Relic or other tools to look at logs and explore the state of your system from the past to help track down errors or analyze / filter those logs from the past.
The live dashboard only captures information at the moment. There is no persistence or advanced filtering capabilities. Meaning, if you received an error notification 5 minutes ago but didn't already have the dashboard open, you couldn't just load live dashboard and check it out there. You would have to troll through your own logs or use a 3rd party logging tool just like before.
Where live dashboard seems to shine is if you already have it open beforehand, you can see various metrics about your app in real time. Although other logging tools are pretty close to real-time too.
But it is cool that something like this is included by default. I hope future releases expand on what it allows you to do.
