What is the best way to build observability dashboards for microservices?

Building observability dashboards for microservices is streamlined by gathering service context to inform board content. This approach identifies and incorporates relevant queries and SLOs, automatically generating layouts like a Golden Signals dashboard with request rate and latency heatmaps.

Can I automatically generate a Golden Signals dashboard with request rate, error rate, and latency heatmaps?

You can automatically generate a Golden Signals dashboard with request rate, error rate, and latency heatmaps. The Skill designs the board layout and incorporates relevant queries and SLOs based on your specific service context and problems.

How does the board creation process incorporate service context into the dashboard layout?

The board creation process incorporates service context by gathering information about your services, features, and problems. It uses this context to inform board content, identifying and integrating relevant queries and SLOs into the final dashboard layout.

Do I need to manually define SLOs before building a Honeycomb board?

You do not need to manually define SLOs before building a Honeycomb board. The Skill identifies and incorporates relevant SLOs directly into the board layout based on the gathered service context, features, and problems.

What limitations are there when automating Honeycomb board generation?

Limitations of automating Honeycomb board generation depend on the available service context. The Skill requires information about your services, features, and problems to inform board content and accurately identify relevant queries and SLOs for the dashboard layout.
