OBSERVABILITY Signal 296
What’s new in the ClickHouse Grafana plugin
↗
The ClickHouse Grafana plugin update introduces compact query mode, click-to-filter log investigation, and pre-built OpenTelemetry dashboards to simplify observability workflows without requiring SQL expertise.
Engineers monitoring logs and traces in ClickHouse can now investigate issues faster with point-and-click filtering instead of writing SQL queries. The pre-configured OpenTelemetry dashboards reduce setup time for teams adopting standardized observability pipelines. These changes lower the barrier to entry for ClickHouse users while preserving full SQL access for complex analysis.

Compact query mode generates SQL automatically from log searches, reducing manual query writing for common filtering tasks.
Click-to-filter functionality allows iterative log investigation by selecting values directly from expanded log rows.
Three pre-built OpenTelemetry dashboards (Logs Explorer, Traces Explorer, and service deep dive) ship with the plugin for immediate use.
