Problem

You could not build a correct "CPU utilization per host" chart. system.cpu.utilization is reported per state (idle, user, system, ...), so averaging it per host gives roughly 1/number-of-states. Scoping by attr.state was not possible:

  • The query builder warned "Metrics attr.* filters support only equality" and dropped attr.state != "idle".
  • The executor (runtime/query-engine.ts) read only attributeFilters[0] and passed its key and value as a plain equality, ignoring mode and negated. So a negated filter arriving through any other path was silently turned into its opposite.
  • create_dashboard simple widget specs had no filter field and did not list the unit values.

Changes

Query engine

  • The metrics ClickHouse queries (timeseries, rate/increase, breakdown) take the full attributeFilters list and build each predicate with the shared buildAttrFilterCondition on the Attributes map: equals, !=, contains, exists, in, numeric comparisons, and OR alternatives.
  • The old single-label attributeKey/attributeValue options on those queries are removed; only tests still used them, so attributeFilters is now the one way to filter metric labels.
  • A lone plain span.kind = X filter still uses the hourly span-metrics rollup. Any other datapoint filter falls back to the raw table.
  • The query builder lowers every attr.* operator for metrics (cap of 5, the same as traces and logs) and now accepts (a OR b) groups for metrics. An OR group is the IN / multi-value form; the where-clause grammar has no in keyword, and adding one was out of scope.

MCP create_dashboard

  • Simple specs gain where, a whereClause AND-ed with service_name. It is rejected on list widgets rather than dropped. Unsupported clauses are still caught by the existing pre-persist builder-warning gate.
  • unit is now a closed enum built from WIDGET_UNIT_TOKENS and listed in the parameter description, with the percent (0-1) vs percent_100 (0-100) rule.
  • Per-host grouping (group_by: "resource.host.name") landed separately in feat(ai): MCP tools for the Infrastructure pages (list_infra, inspect_infra) #1387; this PR adds a test for it.

Validation

  • WidgetInspectionEntry gains seriesCount: the number of series in the widget's largest successful query (for a table, its number of groups). It is shown in the rendered validation as looks_healthy, 4 series, so you can confirm a group_by split worked. Taking the largest query rather than the sum keeps a formula and the hidden queries it is built from from being counted several times.

Docs

  • The describe_dashboard_schema queries section says that OR groups apply to metrics, that attr.* on metrics takes any operator, and explains the per-state CPU pitfall.

Not covered

  • A dedicated "busy CPU" expression. With this PR, avg + attr.state = "idle" gives the idle fraction per host. Turning that into busy (1 minus idle) needs a constant in a formula, which is a separate change.
  • An in / not in keyword in the where-clause grammar. The filter schema and SQL already support mode: "in"; only the text grammar lacks it.

Testing

  • packages/query-engine: metrics.test.ts (negated and IN SQL, span.kind rollup kept, negated filter falls back to raw) and model.test.ts (negated attr, multiple filters, OR groups, mixed-group rejection). 308 tests pass, including the benchmark SQL catalog and runtime tests.
  • apps/ai: create-dashboard.test.ts (where AND-ing, list rejection, resource group_by), inspect-widget-summary.test.ts (seriesCount for charts with formulas and for tables), registry.contract.test.ts, and the schema-doc and docs-drift tests pass.
  • Scoped typecheck passes for @maple/query-engine, @maple/domain, @maple/cli and @maple/local-ui (the other callers of the metrics queries). oxlint is clean on all changed files. @maple/ai reports only the existing unbuilt-lib/ module errors, none in changed files.
  • Not verified against a live warehouse.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Metrics dashboards support multiple attribute filters, including negation and OR groups.
    • Dashboard creation supports custom filters and units for compatible widgets, and metrics widgets can group by resource attributes.
    • Widget summaries display the series or breakdown count from the largest query.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved metric filtering and hourly rate-query handling for filter combinations that cannot use rollups.
    • Missing or empty metric attributes no longer match numeric comparisons as zero.
    • List widgets with unsupported filters now return a clear error.
  • Documentation

    • Dashboard guidance now explains how to filter metric datapoint labels, including OR groups.

…rd where/unit/series count

Metrics widgets could only filter a datapoint label by equality, and the
executor read just the first attribute filter, ignoring its mode and
negation. So a per-state metric like system.cpu.utilization could not be
scoped with attr.state != "idle".

- Metrics CH queries take the full attributeFilters list (equals, !=,
  contains, exists, in, numeric), built by the shared buildAttrFilterCondition.
  A lone span.kind equality still uses the hourly span-metrics rollup.
- The query builder lowers every attr.* operator for metrics (cap 5) and
  accepts OR groups, which are the IN form.
- create_dashboard simple specs gain `where`, enumerate `unit` from the
  widget unit catalog, and accept resource.<key> group_by for metrics.
- Validation entries report seriesCount so a group_by split is visible.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Metrics queries now support multiple datapoint attribute filters and attribute OR groups. Dashboard widget creation accepts where clauses for supported widget types. Widget inspection summaries and validation text report series or breakdown-group counts. Supporting changes update documentation, remove shared time-preset helpers, and add playground files as Knip entry points.

Changes

Metrics filters and query execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metrics filter parsing and OR groups
packages/query-engine/src/query-builder/model.ts, packages/query-engine/src/query-builder/model.test.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/dashboard-schema-doc.ts
Metrics where clauses support multiple attr.* filters and attribute OR groups. The documentation describes metrics attribute filters and their effect on averages.
Metrics query execution
packages/query-engine/src/ch/queries/metrics.ts, packages/query-engine/src/ch/queries/metrics.test.ts, packages/query-engine/src/runtime/query-engine.ts, packages/query-engine/src/traces-shared.ts
Timeseries, rate, and breakdown queries apply datapoint attribute filters. The hourly span-metrics rate path uses the rollup for no filters or one eligible span.kind equality filter; other filter shapes use the raw rate query.

Dashboard MCP

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dashboard widget creation
apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/create-dashboard.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/tools/create-dashboard.test.ts
Simple widget specifications accept where and supported unit tokens. Generated queries combine service_name with where, and list widgets reject non-empty where.
Widget inspection counts
packages/domain/src/mcp-outputs/dashboards.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/inspect-widget.ts, apps/ai/src/mcp/lib/inspect-widget-summary.test.ts
Widget inspection entries report the largest successful query’s series count, or row count for breakdowns. Validation text displays the count when defined.

… options

- seriesCount counted a breakdown as 1 series (its groups are rows) and
  summed chart queries, double-counting formula operands. It now takes the
  largest query, using rowCount for breakdowns.
- Remove attributeKey/attributeValue from the metrics query opts; only
  tests still used them. attributeFilters is the single way to filter
  datapoint labels, which also simplifies the span-metrics rollup check.
- create_dashboard computes the extra where clause once; its tests read
  the query draft instead of matching serialized JSON.

Adds full attribute filtering (every operator, OR groups) to metrics widgets, a where/closed unit on create_dashboard specs, and a seriesCount in validation. Safe to merge.

  • Metrics CH queries take the whole attributeFilters list through buildAttrFilterCondition on Attributes
  • Metrics where-clauses lower every attr.* operator and (a OR b) groups; a lone span.kind = X keeps the hourly rollup
  • create_dashboard simple specs gain where, a closed unit enum and resource.<key> group_by

What was checked
  • No caller passes the removed metrics attributeKey/attributeValue (repo-wide grep; only tests used them)
  • applyOrGroup still ORs negated members correctly, since each member is built then OR-ed (traces-shared.ts:128)

Every hunk and the callers of the changed metrics options were read; the one path that changes alert and widget results, attributeFilters[0] flattening, is pinned by tests.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Metrics queries now lower the full attributeFilters list through buildAttrFilterCondition, the executor stops flattening it to a negated-filter-inverting equality, and create_dashboard gains where plus a closed unit enum. Contained, tested, safe to merge.

  • Metrics timeseries/rate/breakdown take attributeFilters and build every predicate with buildAttrFilterCondition
  • Executor passes the whole metric filter list instead of attributeFilters[0] key/value
  • create_dashboard simple specs accept where, rejected on list, and list unit tokens
  • WidgetInspectionEntry.seriesCount reports the largest query's series in validation
What was checked
  • mode is required on the metric filter schema, so spanKindEqualsValue cannot miss a lone span.kind = X and the hourly rollup guard is unchanged (metrics.ts:196-218)
  • buildAttrFilterCondition forces indexMode "none" for Attributes, so datapoint labels take the exact predicate with no skip index (traces-shared.ts:135)
  • Removed attributeKey/attributeValue options have no remaining callers (apps/cli/src/core/operations.ts:721, apps/local-ui/src/hooks/use-local-metric-detail.ts:34 build pure series options)

This head drops three unused infra/query-engine exports and registers the apps/ai tool-playground config and playground specs as knip entries; the substantive metrics attribute-filter work was reviewed at an earlier head. Safe to merge.

What was checked
  • No file imports TIME_PRESETS or bucketSecondsFor; all six infra routes import only bucketSecondsForRange
  • Both new knip entries exist at the head: apps/ai/vitest.playground.config.ts and apps/ai/src/evals/playground/tool.playground.ts
  • OverviewGrain has no reference anywhere at the head; ServiceWindowTiers.grain is what callers use (services.ts:129).

…in numeric filters

A service_name holding a double quote could open a second where clause; it now
goes through quoteWhereValue. Numeric attribute filters also require the key to
be present, since a missing key read as 0 and matched lt/lte filters.

Both follow-up fixes (quoteWhereValue, numeric present guard) are correct, pinned by tests, and reach no other caller.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Adds full attr.* operator support to metric datapoint filters end to end, plus where/unit on create_dashboard simple widgets and a seriesCount in widget validation. The follow-up fixes at this head are correct; safe to merge.

  • buildAttrFilterCondition requires a non-empty label for attr.x < / <= / > />=
  • create_dashboard service_name goes through quoteWhereValue in the widget where clause
  • Metrics queries and the runtime take the whole attributeFilters list
  • WidgetInspectionEntry reports seriesCount from the largest query
What was checked
  • quoteWhereValue always quotes, and splitOnKeyword/unquote are quote-aware, so " in a service name cannot open a clause (where-clause.ts:96, 132)
  • present only drops missing/empty labels; gt 0 and equals behaviour is unchanged
  • OR-group members still compare against the empty accumulator, so metricName cannot make setsOtherField true
