Share a Query

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 in the Honeycomb UI:

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.

1. A modal will appear with your Query Template Link. Use Copy link to copy the URL.

Manually Create a Query Link 

To manually create a sharable query link, concatenate the URL for your dataset with the JSON query parameter.

1. Obtain the URL for the target dataset.

   The standard format for the dataset URL follows:

   https://ui.honeycomb.io/<team>/environments/<environment>/datasets/<dataset>/
   

   where team, environment, and dataset are the named respective fields as seen in Honeycomb URLs.

2. Construct your query parameter.

   The query parameter is a JSON string, optionally containing any of the keys described in the Query Specification documentation on defining a query via JSON. For example, the query parameter syntax for a basic COUNT query with a filter of duration_ms > 500 looks like:

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

3. Concatenate the URL for the dataset with the query parameter to create the query URL.

   Following the previous example, the query URL would look similar to:

   https://ui.honeycomb.io/<team>/environments/<environment>/datasets/<dataset>/?query={"calculations":[{"op":"COUNT"}],"filters":[{"column":"duration_ms","op":">","value":500}]}
