Dashboards

This feature-rich dashboards support both form-based and PromQL-based queries and offer several user experience enhancements:

• Multiple data queries per panel

• Basic (form-based) and advanced (PromQL) data queries

• Compare basic query result against historical data

• Improved granularity of data shown in dashboards. For example, a 1-hour selection shows metrics with 10 seconds intervals.

• Display up-to-date metrics without time re-alignment.

• Query support:

  • Allows to query multiple metrics

  • Render the results of a query (time series) as line, bars, stacked area, stairs, text, and so on.

  • Ability to scope and segment each query separately

  • Inherit, augment, or override the dashboard scope

  • Metric descriptor based units with the ability to override

  • Assign Y-axis automatically based on query unit type with the ability to override

Each dashboard is composed of a series of panels configured to display specific data in a number of different formats.
