The value of Profiles Drilldown

Grafana Profiles Drilldown is a query-less experience for browsing continuous profiling data stored in Grafana Pyroscope. Quickly find the services and functions responsible for high resource usage with just a few clicks, without needing to write queries.

With Profiles Drilldown, you can:

  • Explore all your services at once and switch between profile types, such as CPU and memory.
  • Break a service down by its labels to isolate anomalies, for example by region.
  • Read a flame graph to see exactly where a service spends its resources, down to the function.
  • Compare two datasets with Diff flame graph to spot what changed.
  • Use Grafana Assistant or flame graph AI to help interpret results and identify bottlenecks faster.
