DataMap Screen and Visualization

DataMap Screen

• Provides a simple view for large volumes of data, eliminating the need for multiple dashboards
• Enables building a top-level view for complex systems and slicing observability data in new ways

Creating a Data Model

• Begins with creating a new group to define a base data model
• The data model defines the structure of the data map and helps create groups that appear on screen
• Allows selecting a metric from a list, such as a load time metric

Generating Groups

• Selecting 'generate groups' automatically highlights categories from metric labels for visualization
• Coralogix detects and sorts labels attached to metrics, categorizing data into groups

Customizing Data Map

• Enables reordering of groups to change the visualization of data
• Example: reordering by country, then method, then request IP address
• Can add color to the data map based on different metrics, such as load time
• Allows selecting aggregation functions, such as average, and setting threshold values

Visualizing Data

• Provides a high-level view of problem areas in the data and immediate feedback on system changes
• Enables zooming in on a node to investigate low-level data and viewing detailed information for a specific element
• Allows filtering nodes in the map based on fields available on the chosen data model metric, such as viewing only HTTP data for a given country

Scalability

• Data maps can scale to render huge volumes of information in simple, digestible formats
• Makes tracking entire systems more straightforward
