Note
The Grafana Explore apps have changed to Grafana Drilldown apps. For example, Explore Logs is now Logs Drilldown. To learn more, read Grafana Drilldown apps: the improved queryless experience formerly known as the Explore apps.

With Metrics Drilldown, you can:

Segment metrics based on their labels, so you can immediately spot anomalies and identify issues.
Automatically display the optimal visualization for each metric type (gauge vs. counter, for example) without manual setup.
Uncover related metrics relevant to the one you’re viewing.
Seamlessly pivot to related telemetry, including log data.

Using Grafana Logs Drilldown you can:

Easily find logs and log volumes for all of your services.
Effortlessly filter logs based on their labels, fields, or patterns.
Drill into your data using volume and text patterns.
Uncover related logs and monitor changes over time.
Browse automatic visualizations of your log data based on its characteristics.
Do all of this without writing LogQL queries.
And if you do want to write a LogQL query, there is a link to Grafana Explore available on every panel in Logs Drilldown.

Who is Grafana Logs Drilldown for?

Grafana Logs Drilldown is for engineers of all levels of operational expertise. You no longer need to be an SRE wizard to get value from your logs.

Traditionally, you’d need a deep understanding of your systems and Loki’s query language, LogQL, in order to get the most out of Loki.

With Grafana Logs Drilldown, you get the same powerful insights, by just viewing and clicking in visualizations which are automatically generated from your log data.

Grafana Traces Drilldown

Distributed traces provide a way to monitor applications by tracking requests across services. Traces record the details of a request to help understand why an issue is or was happening.

Grafana Traces Drilldown helps you visualize insights from your Tempo traces data. Using the app, you can:

Use Rate, Errors, and Duration (RED) metrics derived from traces to investigate issues
Uncover related issues and monitor changes over time
Browse automatic visualizations of your data based on its characteristics
Save and load filter configurations to quickly return to previous investigations
Do all of this without writing TraceQL queries

Profiles Drilldown

Profiling is a technique used in software development to measure and analyze the runtime behavior of a program. By profiling a program, developers can identify which parts of the program consume the most resources, such as CPU time, memory, or I/O operations. You can use this information to optimize the program, making it run faster or use fewer resources.

Grafana Profiles Drilldown provides an intuitive interface for exploring your profile data. Using Profiles Drilldown, you can:

View high-level service performance: Get a high-level view of all of your services and how they’re functioning
Optimize processes: Identify processes or services that you can optimize for better performance
Diagnose issues: Determine the root cause of an issue
