Unique Featuress - DataMap Tutorial

DataMap Screen

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

Creating a Data Model

• Define a base data model to structure the data map and create groups on the screen
• Choose a metric (e.g., load time) and select 'generate groups' to automatically categorize data

DataMap UI Features

• Highlights categories for visualization (e.g., method, status, category)
• Allows customization of group orders (e.g., country, method, request IP address)
• Enables adding color to data map based on chosen metric and aggregation (e.g., average)

Data Visualization

• Displays a high-level view of problem areas in the data
• Provides immediate feedback on detailed changes to the system without overwhelming information
• Enables zooming in on a node for a snapshot of low-level data
• Offers filtering nodes based on fields available on the chosen data model metric (e.g., HTTP data for a given country)

DataMap Capabilities

• Scales to render huge volumes of information in simple, digestible formats
• Makes tracking entire systems more straightforward
