VOOZH | about |
The heatmap widget shows metrics aggregated across multiple tags. Use heatmap widgets to visualize OpenTelemetry histograms, distribution metrics, high resolution and data display.
Configure your metric query as usual. Graph OpenTelemetry histograms by using the ‘counters’ histogram mode.
Make a selection in the “avg/max/min/sum by/etc.” control to see your data across the associated tags.
Y-axis controls are available through the UI and the JSON editor.
They allow you to:
Change the Y-axis scale by expanding the Y-Axis Controls button.
The following configuration options are available:
| Option | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
Min/Max | No | Specify the minimum and / or maximum value to show on y-axis. It takes a number or Auto as the default value. |
Scale | No | Specifies the scale type. Possible values: - linear: A linear scale (default) - log: A logarithmic scale - pow: A Power of 2 scale (2 is default, modify in JSON) - sqrt: A square root scale |
Always include zero | No | Always include zero or fit the axis to the data range. The default is to always include zero. |
Note: Because the mathematical log function doesn’t accept negative values, the Datadog log scale only works if values are of the same sign (everything > 0 or everything < 0). Otherwise an empty graph is returned.
This widget can be used with the Dashboards API. See the following table for the widget JSON schema definition:
