The Attributes Catalog in Chronosphere Observability Platform is a centralized catalog of raw telemetry attributes. Use it to search for or filter metric labels, log fields, and trace tags across your observability data. The Attributes Catalog also provides tools to view and manage derived attributes. Derived attributes standardize and consolidate attribute names and values across metrics without modifying the underlying data.

​
Access the Attributes Catalog

In the navigation menu, select System Library > Attributes Catalog. The Attributes Catalog has two tabs:
  • Raw: Displays attribute names from your ingested telemetry.
  • Derived: Lists all derived attributes.

​
View raw attributes

The Attributes Catalog’s Raw tab provides a centralized table of telemetry attributes that you can search and filter. Telemetry attributes encompass all supported telemetry types in Observability Platform:
  • Metric labels
  • Log fields
  • Trace tags
To view the raw attributes catalog:
  1. In the navigation menu, click System Library > Attributes Catalog.
  2. Click the Raw tab to view the table of raw attributes.
The table has the following columns, and can be sorted by clicking the column’s header:
  • Key: The attribute’s unique identifier, depending on its type. For example, a metric label’s Key is its label name. If the value is linked, you can click it to open the attribute’s details panel.
  • Type: The attribute’s telemetry type.
Click the Rows per page dropdown to change the number of displayed rows, and click the Previous page and Next page buttons to navigate between table pages.

​
Filter raw attributes by key

To filter raw attributes by key:
  1. Click the Search raw attributes field.
  2. Begin entering text.
The table of raw attributes updates to display only the rows whose key contains the entered text. To return to the unfiltered view, delete the contents of the Search raw attributes field.

​
Filter raw attributes by telemetry type

To filter raw attributes by telemetry type:
  1. Click the Type dropdown.
  2. Click one of the listed telemetry types, or click All to remove the filter.
The table of raw attributes updates to display only the rows with the matching type.

​
View attribute details

To view additional details about an attribute:
  1. In the navigation menu, click System Library > Attributes Catalog.
  2. Click the Raw tab to view the table of raw attributes, or the Derived tab to view a table of derived attributes.
  3. Click the link to the attribute in the Key (Raw) or Label name (Derived) column.
  4. Optional: In the Derived tab, click the three vertical dots icon on the attribute’s row, and then click View details.
This opens the attribute’s details panel, the contents of which depend on its telemetry type.
Only metric labels and metrics-typed derived attributes support detail views. Log fields and trace tags don’t yet support this view and therefore aren’t linked from the Attributes Catalog.
A metrics label’s detail view contains two tabs:
  • Overview: The attribute’s metadata and usage details. The Overview tab’s Metadata section lists the number of associated metrics and unique values for the attribute, and its managed source. The Top usage (last 30 days) section lists the Top 3 dashboard queries and Explorer queries that use the derived attribute, and the attribute’s Top users. Usage is sorted by execution counts.
  • Values: A list of all of the attribute’s associated values.
The panel also includes a link to Open in Usage Analyzer, which opens the Telemetry Usage Analyzer for the attribute.
