Share

Start Sharing

  1. Click settings > share;
  2. Choose the chart query time;
  3. Get the embed code;
  4. The chart sharing is now successful.

Guance generates the embed code based on the chart query time. For example, if the chart query time is the last 15 minutes, the embedded platform will display results for the last 15 minutes.

Note:

  • If the chart has a locked time, the chart query time will display as the locked time and cannot be changed;
  • The width and height of the shared chart default to the dimensions in the view, but the embed code can be modified;
  • If the chart is associated with view variables, it shares the chart based on the currently selected view variables, such as the currently selected host if associated with host.

View Shared Charts

Guance stores all shared charts in Management > Share Management > Shared Charts.

Export Charts

Click to export the chart as a PNG image.

Among them, time series charts, pie charts, top lists, bar charts, treemaps can also be exported as CSV files.

Analyze Charts

In the dashboard, clicking the Analyze button on the chart or double-clicking an empty area of the chart can zoom in for detailed viewing and analysis. You can hover over the chart to view data information or select Timeline to view metric trends within a specific time range.

  • When hovering over a particular time series in the chart, if other charts have grouping conditions with the same tags, they will highlight corresponding sections;
  • Clicking a chart displays the DQL Query Statement.

Similar Trend Metrics

  • Clicking a query allows you to view related analyses, such as logs, containers, processes, traces, etc.

  • When the chart query includes host (host) information and the grouping condition selects by host, you can also view related host monitoring views.

Drill-down Analysis

To uncover root causes of events and achieve more precise data analysis and troubleshooting, you can perform drill-down analysis on all metric data.

Click into Drill-down Analysis, select the target time range, and click Start Search to present drill-down analysis results. In the query results, you can view the first-level labels and corresponding time series analysis for that time range.
