A practical workflow

  1. Connect chmonitor to a ClickHouse cluster to get an overview with live charts from system tables without needing exporters or dashboards to build.
  2. Use the overview screen to see query rate, memory, connections, merges, and disk usage with live charts refreshed while the page is open.
  3. Drill down from charts to underlying queries, tables, or merges by expanding chart strips and changing time ranges.
