Histogram
Histogram panel type on the Dashboard: Histogram panels allow you to visualize the distribution of metric values for large data collection. You should select a segmentation, and optionally, the number of buckets.
Use Histogram for any metric, Sysdig native or custom, counter or gauge, segmented by a dimension/label. The histogram panel helps understand value across different segments. For example, CPU usage percent by containers across your hosts gives you the aggregated value across the selected time.
Legacy Prometheus histogram collection: This implementation of legacy Prometheus Histograms is deprecated in SaaS 3.2.6 release.
To create a Histogram, use the Prometheus integration to collect histogram metrics and use the PromQL panel with the
histogram_quantile
function.Prometheus histograms (collected as raw metrics): The legacy Prometheus histogram collection is replaced by the new Prometheus histogram. You can natively collect histogram metrics, and for visualization, use timechart:
For example, run the following query to build a timechart:
sum(histogram_metrics_bucket{kubernetes_cluster_name="prod"}) by (le)
