Metrics explorer
Ad-hoc PromQL against any registered source, with the same query editor rules use.
Built-in metric views
Pre-built views for hosts, containers and common middleware, and how to add your own.
Object quick view
From a host in the target list to its key metrics in one click.
Log explorer and index patterns
Search ElasticSearch, Loki and VictoriaLogs sources, define index patterns, and pivot from a log line to a rule.
Recording rules
Precompute expensive expressions on a schedule and alert on the result instead.
Build a dashboard
A dashboard belongs to a business group; build it from an integration template or from scratch with twelve panel types, and export it whole to hand to someone else.
Variables and filters
Dashboard variables add dropdowns at the top of a board, populated from label values and chained to each other; pick a host or a cluster and every chart switches.
Anonymous time-limited sharing
Share one dashboard through a link that expires, without creating an account for the viewer.
Share, embed and integrate external systems
Embed Nightingale into an existing portal, hide menus selectively, and pass identity through.
Use Grafana with Nightingale
Keep Grafana for visualisation: point it at the same stores, and hand alerting to Nightingale.
