Core concepts

The ideas the whole dashboard is built on — read these once and the rest of the docs (and the code) fall into place.

  • Connections — named Tempo / Loki / Prometheus/Mimir connections, multi-tenancy and the datasource-proxy setup.
  • Pages & cards — every screen is a registry of Livewire cards; how pages are declared and autodetected.
  • Configuration reference — every config key, annotated.
  • Signal correlation — how a route links to its traces, a trace to its logs, an exception to its issue.
  • Authorization — the viewTelemetryUi gate and the read/write ability split.
