Chronosphere Observability Platform supports creating dashboards from queries for certain telemetry data types. You can add queries to a new dashboard or an existing dashboard to visualize the query results. Complete the following steps to create a dashboard with a query:
  1. In the navigation menu select one of the Explorers that support adding queries to a dashboard:
    • Logs: Explorers > Logs Explorer.
    • Metrics: Explorers > Metrics Explorer.
  2. Construct a query that returns the data you want to view:
  3. In the main navigation bar, click Add to Dashboard.
  4. In the Add to dashboard dialog, enter a name for your query. The query you defined is entered in the Name field by default.
  5. Click Select dashboard to add the panel to an existing dashboard, or click create a new dashboard to create a new dashboard containing the panel. Observability Platform previews the addition of the panel to the dashboard.
    • For an existing dashboard, click the Panel group dropdown to add the panel to an existing panel group, or select New Panel Group from the dropdown to add it to a new group.
    • For a new dashboard, click the Dashboard name field to name the dashboard, and click the Owner dropdown to choose which Collection owns the dashboard.
  6. Click Add to dashboard to add the panel to your dashboard.
Observability Platform creates the dashboard with the query you defined or adds the query to the specified dashboard. You can change the panel’s type if you want the query to display as a different visualization.
