Dashboards¶

Dashboards provide a grid of widgets, each running an independent Quandrix query. Use them to build monitoring views scoped to a fractal or prism.

Dashboard with widgets

Creating a Dashboard¶

Navigate to Dashboards within a fractal or prism. Click Create and provide a name and optional description.

Widgets¶

Each widget is a self-contained panel with:

Title - descriptive label
Query - a Quandrix query
Chart type - table, piechart, barchart, or graph
Layout - position and size on the 12-column grid (drag to rearrange and resize)

Widget results are cached so the dashboard loads quickly on return visits.

Time Range¶

A dashboard-level time range applies to all widgets. Options include preset ranges (1h, 24h, 7d, 30d) or a custom start/end.

Variables¶

Dashboard variables let you parameterize queries across widgets. Define name-value pairs, then reference them in widget queries. Changing a variable value re-runs all affected widgets.

Export & Import¶

Dashboards can be exported as YAML and re-imported into the same or a different fractal. This is useful for sharing standard monitoring layouts across teams.

Access Control¶

Viewer - can view dashboards
Analyst - can create, edit, and delete dashboards and widgets

Notebooks¶

Notebooks combine markdown documentation and executable Quandrix queries in a single ordered document. They are useful for incident investigations, runbooks, and collaborative analysis.

Notebook with sections

Creating a Notebook¶

Navigate to Notebooks within a fractal or prism. Click Create and provide a name and optional description.

Sections¶

Notebooks contain two types of sections:

Markdown - formatted text for documentation, notes, and context
Query - a Quandrix query that can be executed and re-run. Results are cached with the section and can be displayed as a chart

Sections can be reordered by dragging.

Time Range¶

A notebook-level time range applies to all query sections. This ensures consistent results across an investigation.

Variables¶

Like dashboards, notebooks support variables that can be referenced in query sections.

Export & Import¶

Notebooks export as YAML for sharing and version control.

Presence¶

Both dashboards and notebooks show which users are currently viewing, supporting real-time collaboration.
