Show HN: Autometrics Explorer – A Contextual UI for Prometheus

4 points

3 years ago

We're thrilled to introduce the Autometrics Explorer 1.0, a developer-friendly UI designed to visualize Prometheus data. Explorer leverages the open source Autometrics framework https://github.com/autometrics-dev/ for function-level metrics. It is built to help engineers swiftly transition from an alert to identifying the misbehaving function, streamlining the debugging process.

Key features: 1. Service Level Objectives: Define SLOs in code, setting up thresholds for availability and latency, which can be visualized in the explorer.

2. Fast debugging feedback loop: After you've defined your SLOs you can swiftly navigate from an alert to the misbehaving function, enhancing your debugging experience.

3. Local-First Experience: Access the Autometrics Explorer through the [am](https://github.com/autometrics-dev/am) CLI. It can spin up a local Prometheus that scrapes your instrumented functions and application code.

4. Basic Call Graph: Understand the inter-function relationships with a simple call graph, helping identify the actual faulty code behind a Service Level Objective breach.
