Metrics explorer

The metrics explorer (/explore) lets you browse what DumbMonit stores and try a query. Open it from the command palette (Ctrl+K).

The explorer lists the live dumbmonit_* metrics (written during the last hour) with their number of series and, for the metric you pick, its labels and a few values. Selecting a metric fills the query box; selecting a label value adds it as a matcher.

The query box completes metric names as you type, label names inside {…} and label values after label=". Ctrl+Space lists suggestions, Ctrl+Enter runs the query. The result is a chart and a table of the latest value of each series. Queries go through DumbMonit’s own query proxy, never straight to VictoriaMetrics.

Everyone who is signed in can use the explorer; for an account limited by teams or clients, the series are filtered to the monitors it can see.

GET /api/metrics/catalog is described in the OpenAPI specification.
