SigNoz Dashboard Query Assistance
TLDR Sumanth had trouble importing a Grafana dashboard and creating a custom trace between services on SigNoz. Prashant explained how to do so and then suggested Ankit who arranged a meeting with Sumanth to discuss further.

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:46:36 UTCImporting Grafana dashboard with variable is not supported by SigNoz at the moment.
Prashant
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:47:27 UTCYou would have to create the panels on your own from the Dashboard page. You could copy the same PromQL to SigNoz widgets. Or use query-builder.
Sumanth
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:49:44 UTChow can i get the PromQL from these dashboards on grafana?
Prashant
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:54:40 UTCIf PromQL is used in grafana dashboard, then it can be seen in the JSON.
Prashant
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:55:20 UTCDownload the grafana dashboard JSON, and search for `"expr":` keyword. You should find the relevant PromQL next to it.

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:56:37 UTCgot it, thank you
Sumanth
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:57:15 UTCcould you help out on one other question i have? how to get the time taken by a trace to go from 1 service to another?
Prashant
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:58:58 UTCyou can open any trace from SigNoz Trace page to get the idea.
Prashant
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:59:33 UTCUse service and operation filters in Trace page to get relevant traces
Sumanth
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 10:06:13 UTCcorrect but thats at an individual trace level to give context, i have a microservice A that takes an api call from a webhook integration which (after passing through multiple microservices) reaches microservice B where a final external api call is made. I want to create a dashboard to track the average time taken for api calls (grouped by client) from microservice A to microservice B
Sumanth
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 10:07:06 UTCthe goal being getting alerted if this time taken is beyond certain threshold for any client
Sumanth
Fri, 07 Jul 2023 10:08:05 UTCI tried to create a dashboard panel using traces, but i couldnt crack how to achieve this. Do you have any insights/suggestions ? Prashant

Ankit
Sun, 09 Jul 2023 15:48:52 UTCHi Sumanth this can be done. I would use serviceName and name (operation) as filter and diff the startTime and group by traceID (or maybe grouping is not needed).
Ankit
Sun, 09 Jul 2023 15:49:33 UTCwhat's grouped by client that you would like to do? I would love to share a sample clickhouse query to enable the above use case. Let me know if I can help
Sumanth
Mon, 10 Jul 2023 08:21:25 UTChi Ankit, thanks for responding. I am not fully following the solution you are mentioning. Finding it tough to create the dashboard if okay with you, could we have a small huddle today when free? shouldnt take more than 10 mins Would love to learn from you
Ankit
Mon, 10 Jul 2023 08:39:19 UTCSumanth feel free to find a convenient time from
Sumanth
Mon, 10 Jul 2023 08:54:21 UTCi scheduled for 6:30 today if that is okay? else we can do earlier time slot tomorrow
Ankit
Mon, 10 Jul 2023 09:19:40 UTCshould be okay
