Introducing Query Builder v5 with Advanced Capabilities

Your browser does not support the video tag.

The query builder has been completely rewritten to support more powerful and flexible data exploration.

Key enhancements:

  • Build complex queries with OR conditions and advanced search expressions for more flexible filtering.
  • Apply multiple aggregations in a single query for side-by-side comparisons.
  • Get specific, actionable error messages instead of generic "Aw Snap" errors.
  • Apply COUNT_DISTINCT on multiple fields simultaneously.
  • Experience faster auto-completion with context-aware suggestions.
  • Smarter behavioral improvements:
    • Group by automatically adds exists conditions, fixing issues with missing keys.
    • Aggregate logs and traces at 5-second granularity instead of 60-second minimum.
    • Negative operators properly include results without the field.
  • Non-existent filter keys now show errors with suggestions instead of silently returning no results.

New for OSS Users: Cobra Command Line Interface

SigNoz is now available as a cobra command CLI. Running signoz --help gives you access to OpenTelemetry-native logs, metrics and traces in a single pane with the following commands:

  • help - Help about any command
  • server - Run the SigNoz server

Span Details Drawer Enhancements

Media

The span details drawer tabs now display item counts directly in the tab headers.

  • See Attributes, Events, and Links counts at a glance without switching tabs.
  • Quickly identify which tabs have content and which are empty.
  • Better context when investigating traces with multiple spans.

Dynamic Multi-Step Trace Funnels

Trace funnels now support unlimited steps, removing the previous 3-step limitation.

  • Create funnels with any number of steps to track complex user journeys through distributed systems.
  • Latency pointer highlights performance bottlenecks at each step.
  • Dynamic query builders replace hardcoded functions, enabling n-step funnel analysis.
  • Temporal ordering maintained across all steps for accurate sequence tracking.
  • Step indexing automatically handles proper ordering for API calls.
  • "Add Funnel Step" button always visible, allowing continuous addition of steps.

UI Improvements

  • Ctrl/Cmd + click on any entity now opens it in a new tab, preserving your current context while exploring.
  • Alert module enhancements with clearer visualizations, improved error states, and better feedback messages.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed key CONTAINS value filter not working with numeric values, allowing proper filtering of numeric fields in logs and traces.
  • Prevented logs explorer from having zero columns, ensuring at least one column is always visible to avoid broken table views.
  • Fixed alert disable functionality from the overview page, allowing users to quickly disable alerts without navigating to edit mode.
  • Resolved logarithmic scale errors in charts, ensuring proper visualization of data with wide value ranges.
  • Fixed pipeline processor reordering issues, maintaining correct processing sequence when reorganizing log pipeline steps.
  • Resolved stale pipeline processor state when switching between processors after updating JSON flattening config, ensuring changes are properly reflected.
  • Fixed metric aggregation and value retention inconsistency when editing queries, preserving user selections during query modifications.

Maintenance

  • Automated migration of existing dashboards, alerts, and saved views to support the new query builder v5 format, ensuring seamless upgrade without manual intervention.
  • Updated alert evaluation engine for alerts created with query builder v5, improving reliability and consistency in alert triggering.
  • Fixed time series data ordering in charts to maintain consistent visualization without data points jumping around.
  • Added support for ClickHouse version 25.5.6, ensuring compatibility with the latest ClickHouse releases.
