Automatic PromQL Explanations

PromQL can be difficult to understand. Dash0 now helps you understand queries using generative AI (genAI). With our quick reference, you can also see whether the referenced metrics exist and click them to go to metric explore.

Wherever you see a PromQL query, you can now click the small 🎓-button to learn more about the query. Dash0 will then…

format the PromQL query to visualize its hierarchy,
list the referenced metrics, including a quick reference of its type and availability and
provide a textual description of what the query is doing.
