Dashboards And Saved Queries

Turn ad hoc investigations into repeatable views.

Use Explore for scratch work. When a query is useful:

  1. Save reusable query shortcuts as saved queries.
  2. Pin dashboard panels for queries that refresh with dashboard scope.
  3. Edit dashboard panel queries as OQL.

Dashboard documents use the oriel.dashboard/v1 schema and are versioned in the metadata store. Dashboard versions keep previous specs for export and recovery.

  • Open a dashboard panel in Explore to refine it.
  • Pin a query from Explore to an existing dashboard.
  • Use dashboard panels as starting points for alert rules.
  • Keep dashboards scoped by the app hierarchy instead of embedding one-off environment filters in every query.
