Chart Composition
- Create charts from anywhere and search metrics or events to visualize
- Compose custom charts using a simple, easy-to-use chart builder
- Metric selector that supports wildcards, case-insensitive search, and range queries
- Filter time series for specific dimensions or properties
- Browse for metrics in the chart builder and easily add new plots
- Exclude time-series with specific dimensions or properties (“not” filters)
- Node-aliasing for Graphite style long metric names
- Quickly apply common analytical functions to a chart
- Drag-and-drop reordering of analytics functions in a pipeline
- Combine multiple plots into a composite plot using simple expression builder
- Select events (as output from detectors or manually added) to visualize on charts, or in event feed
Chart Visualization
- Everything you would expect, and more
- Line, area, stacked area, column, list, and single-value chart visualizations
- Heatmap/histogram visualization
- Multiple Y-axes, with ability to specify Y-axis by plot
- Complete axis control (e.g., min/max, precision, high/low watermarks)
- Automatic conversion of metrics to use IEC Units (e.g., GB, MB, KB)
- Plot-specific extrapolation policies
- Consistent plot coloring by metric name or source/dimension combination
- Customized plot colors and single-value status based on a specified threshold
- Visualize discrete data points on a chart as data markers
- Increase or decrease resolution with full control for individual charts or all charts in any dashboard
Dashboard Composition
- Create custom dashboards with multiple charts
- Drag/expand/resize charts on dashboards
- Apply global time ranges or source filters across all charts on a dashboard
- Set dashboard variables to quickly apply filters across a dashboard
- Clone/import/export dashboards
- Share copies of chart or dashboards
- Create markdown text notes to annotate charts/dashboards
- View on heads-up displays using high-density fullscreen mode
Dashboard/Chart Interaction
- Chart panning and zooming
- Customizable time windows
- Click to pause live-charts and open legend
- Sortable legends
- Create dashboards and start assigning metrics with a single click from anywhere in SignalFx
- Clone existing dashboards into different dashboard groups with the API—useful when a template dashboard needs to be used by different teams but with different filters and/or time ranges.
Host Navigator
- Host Navigator automatically shows hotspots and outliers in your infrastructure
- Find hosts that are not emitting metrics and easily track a dead emitter in a simple dashboard
- Visualize the status and behavior of all your Docker containers in the Host Navigator and filter and group by any set of dimensions
- Explore correlations between metrics and dimensions with the Insights feature in Host Navigator
