Find widgets whose queries cover a topic

cx dashboards query-search --description "http 5xx error rate"

Find all widgets that reference a field

cx dashboards query-search --field '$d.http.status_code'

Inspect and clone a found dashboard

# Get full JSON of a dashboard you found
cx dashboards get <dashboard-id> -o json > dashboard.json
# Modify it, then create a copy
cx dashboards create --from-file dashboard.json

Key Principles

• Search before creating — always run

  cx dashboards search

  before building a new dashboard to avoid duplicates
• Use field search for discovery —

  cx dashboards query-search --field

  shows how a field is already being queried, which is the fastest way to find reusable PromQL or DataPrime patterns
• Description search is fuzzy — the results are ranked by similarity, not exact match; try several phrasings if the first search returns nothing useful
• Use

  cx dashboards get

  to inspect — once you find a relevant dashboard or widget, pull its full JSON to study the query structure
