Edit as JSON, validated
Open the dashboard menu and edit the document in place — it's validated on save, and round-trips through export and import.
Specialized · Dashboards as Code
Dashboards you can diff, review, and ship.
Every Traceway dashboard is a plain JSON document underneath. Build it in the UI, export it to your repo, sync it from CI, and apply it across every project in your organization. No click-ops, no drift.
Service facts
One document, every project
The format, on the board.
- 1JSON document per dashboard
- A schemaVersion, a name, and a widgets array — array order is display order, and widget ids are stable.
- 4template packs
- OTel server agent host metrics, Go application runtime, and ClickHouse and DuckDB health dashboards.
- ⌘Kto find anything
- One palette searches your dashboards, the template marketplace, and every metric name across projects.
No click-ops
The UI and the API edit the same document.
There is no separate representation to drift. Treat the repo as truth and the next CI upsert converges every environment; prefer UI-first, export and commit. MIT licensed, identical self-hosted — included on every plan.
POST /api/dashboards/import{ "mode": "upsert" } matches dashboards by name, so the job is idempotent and re-runs are safe.
- Editing
- JSON in the UIValidated on save; export a single dashboard or your whole organization.
- Sharing
- Org-wide by defaultOne shared definition applied to any set of projects; nothing is copied, and edits propagate everywhere.
- Homepages
- Per-project starsEach project curates its own homepage by starring widgets; stable ids keep stars intact across edits.
- Grafana import
- Best-effort + honestTimeseries become line charts, stat becomes single value, gauges stay gauges, Prometheus queries unwrapped — every compromise reported, nothing silently dropped.
On this line
Diff, review, ship.
Review dashboard changes in pull requests like any other code, and let the pipeline keep every environment in sync.
GitOps from CI
Commit the JSON to your repo and have CI post it to the import API with a personal access token; upsert matches by name, so re-running converges.
Shared across projects
A fix made in one dashboard is instantly live in every project it's applied to; unapplying only removes it from that project's tabs.
Templates and a palette
Install the host agent, Go runtime, ClickHouse, or DuckDB templates and customize freely; selecting a metric in ⌘K opens the widget editor prefilled.
