Administrators and expert users are often the first adopters of observability
software. New users might not understand what they need to know, or how to find and
solve problems. Administrators can create helpful and curated experiences for
incoming developers and other users.
Administrators know how their users are organized, including what teams they’re on,
and who’s responsible for what functions. Manage users, teams, and tokens to control
access to Observability Platform.
At the same time, you need to ingest data to observe. Observability Platform ingests
metrics, traces, and logs, meeting a variety of telemetry coverage needs.
Send your telemetry data to Observability Platform for monitoring
After data is flowing to Observability Platform, create dashboards, alerts, and
services to monitor your data. Use alerts to make your DevOps and observability teams
aware of problems when they arise.
Use dashboards to customize detailed views into specific data
Take control of your telemetry data to keep costs predictable and manageable as your
business scales, and help teams manage their data effectively by reducing the amount
of available information. When you optimize your telemetry data, on-call engineers
can find the data they need to solve problems faster.
Identify and eliminate telemetry data that isn't used
Query and analyze all of your data to help identify issues and determine which
services are causing latency. Use these capabilities in conjunction with monitors and
alerts during incident response when you’re trying to identify the source of an
issue.
Investigate issues in your services and environment
PromQL is a complex query language, and users don’t necessarily want to spend time
learning it while they’re solving problems. Use the Query Builder to reduce time
spent building PromQL queries.
Dashboards provide information about the telemetry and services important to you.
Your administrator might create dashboards for you, or you can create your own with
the data you need the most.
Customize detailed views into specific data
Chronosphere Lens gives you visibility into the health and performance of your
applications by ingesting metrics, traces, logs, and change events that you can
observe using services, dashboards, and service level objectives (SLOs).
Use the provided command-line interfaces, infrastructure as code tools, and APIs for
interacting with the Observability Platform and Telemetry Pipeline products. These
tools include Terraform, Chronoctl, and supported APIs.
Interact programatically with Chronosphere
Integrate your data and tools with Observability Platform. Configure the Chronosphere
MCP server and connect supported integrations to streamline the integration with
Observability Platform.
Mark resources as favorites to display them in your
personal homepage so they’re readily available whenever
you sign in.

Some filters can follow you across pages as you dig into issues and narrow down where
problems lie. Use Pinned scopes if you have specific filters you need across multiple
pages.
