Dashboards

Your dashboards live at simpletelemetry.io/your-alias/dash-name; the bare alias opens home. They're private to your account; the one public dashboard is the demo. The picker on the left of the toolbar switches between dashes and creates new ones (names: a-z 0-9 -).

Editing

Edit Dash unlocks the layout. Add card gives you the four card types. Each card's gear opens its editor: title, SQL (Cmd/Ctrl+Enter runs it) and per-series colours. Drag a card's middle to move it, its edges to resize; everything snaps to the grid. Save Dash persists, Revert restores the last save. Hover a card and press Delete to remove it.

Cards copy and paste as JSON: hover a card and Cmd/Ctrl+C copies it, paste it onto another dash (or into a text file as a backup). Copying with nothing hovered copies the whole dashboard.

Time

The range picker covers last 5 minutes to last 7 days (default: last hour), and every card follows it. Drag horizontally across any chart to zoom into an exact window. The range lives in the URL: share the link and the other person sees the same window, and the browser's back/forward buttons step through the views you've looked at. Hovering a chart draws a synced cursor across every card with a readout of each series' value at that moment.

Refresh

Dashboards poll on a cadence: off, 5s, 30s (default), 1m or 5m. The split button in the toolbar refreshes immediately on its left half and sets the cadence on its right. The newest, still-filling time bucket is included, so charts advance as data arrives.

Status

The small icon in a card's corner shows how the last query went. Hover it for events scanned, query time and data age. If the query failed, it turns into the error with the engine's message. A query against a table that hasn't received events yet isn't an error; it just draws empty. Tables are born on the first event.
