Monitoring Dashboard

I did system monitoring dashboard for on winforms and website.

I stucked on 2 points ;

1-) All the controls in the dashboard page are real time data. However In first look, Users doesn't understand that all controls are dynamic or realtime data. What are your suggestions to make it looks like dynamic or realtime ?

2-) The Header, Left menu and container panels and control backgrounds are kinda same color and it feels like users can not identify clearly which is which, or it comes to me wrong something about that. Maybe thats fine. I just want to hear your suggestions on it if any ?
