Query Template Links

Query Template Links allow you to define a query parameter in a Honeycomb URL. Loading this URL in your browser runs the specified query and displays the query results.

For example, select the following URL to load a P95(duration_ms) broken down by HTTP route query on our public “Analyze and Debug an Issue” tour:

https://play.honeycomb.io/sandbox/environments/analyze-debug-tour?query={"calculations":[{"op":"P95","column":"duration_ms"}],"breakdowns":["http.route"]}

Get a Query Template Link 

To get a Query Template Link:

1. Use the Query Builder in Honeycomb to construct a query.
2. Select Share, located in the upper right corner of Query Builder, and then select Get Template Link.
3. A modal will appear with your Query Template Link. Use Copy link to copy the URL.

The query Parameter 

The query parameter is a JSON string, optionally containing any of the keys described below. All fields are optional, but a query with no calculations values will have COUNT applied automatically.

For example, the query parameter syntax for a basic COUNT query with a filter may look like this:

?query={"calculations":[{"op":"COUNT"}],"filters":[{"column":"response_time_ms","op":">","value":500}]}

See Query Specification for details on defining a query via JSON and its use cases.
