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"]}

Note
Embedding Query Template Links (or other Honeycomb pages) within an iframe is not supported.

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.

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.
