What data does the Analytics Dashboard show?

The dashboard shows all requests made to your federated graph. You can view aggregate metrics, individual traces, and schema field usage from the same interface.

What grouping options are available?

You can group by operation name, client, or error message. The default view shows ungrouped individual requests. Clicking a grouped row applies that group as a filter and returns to the ungrouped view.

What date ranges can I select?

Predefined ranges are available for common periods. You can also set a custom date and time range using the date picker. Available ranges respect your plan's data retention limits.

Does auto-refresh work across all views?

Auto-refresh is available in the trace list view. Intervals are 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 5 minutes. It is useful during active incidents when you want the data to update without manual refreshing.

How do I navigate between metrics, traces, and field usage?

The analytics section provides integrated navigation between metrics, traces, and field usage views from a single interface. See the documentation for details on how filters apply within each view.

Does the dashboard require additional configuration?

No additional configuration is required beyond deploying the Cosmo Router with OTEL instrumentation enabled. Data starts flowing immediately.

Analytics Dashboard for Federated GraphQL | Cosmo by WunderGraph

The problem

Generic tools cannot answer GraphQL questions

HTTP-level dashboards see requests. They do not see operations, clients, or fields. Teams end up stitching answers together from multiple places.

Scattered data across multiple tools

Request logs live in one place, metrics in another, and traces somewhere else. None of them carry GraphQL operation context. Correlating an error spike with a specific query means jumping between systems.

No way to filter by what matters

Generic dashboards filter by HTTP status or endpoint path. They cannot filter by operation name, client version, or error message — the dimensions that matter for a GraphQL API.

Traffic patterns are invisible

Without grouping, raw request data tells you very little. Which operation drives the most traffic? Which client sends the most errors? You cannot answer these questions without aggregation.

Our solution

One interface for all your traffic data

The Analytics Dashboard centralizes all request data from your federated graph. Grouping, filtering, and date range selection let you cut through noise and get to the data that matters. Integrated navigation keeps metrics, traces, and field usage connected.

From raw traffic to clear answers

The Analytics Dashboard aggregates all telemetry from the Cosmo Router into a single interface in Cosmo Studio.
Date range selection lets you narrow the view to any period, with predefined ranges or a custom date and time picker.
Grouping organizes data by operation name, client, or error message, turning raw requests into actionable patterns.
Filters narrow down to specific requests by operation, client, and other attributes.
The trace list supports auto-refresh at configurable intervals of 10s, 30s, 1min, and 5min to keep data current during active incidents.
Navigation between metrics, traces, and field usage is seamless from a single interface.

One dashboard. All your analytics. Zero extra infrastructure.

Analytics Dashboard

Before & After

Before Cosmo	With Cosmo
Scattered logs and metrics across services	Single unified dashboard for all federated graph analytics
No GraphQL-aware filtering options	Filter by operation name, client name, and client version
Static views that go stale during incidents	Auto-refresh at configurable intervals
Manual correlation of metrics and traces	Integrated navigation between metrics, traces, and field usage in one interface

Grouping options

Four ways to organize requests

None: Default view. Each row is an individual request. Full detail on every entry.
Operation name: Cluster requests by operation type. See which queries drive traffic.
Client: Group by client name and version. Analyze per-application behavior.
Error message: Cluster requests with the same error. Identify the most common failures.

How the Analytics Dashboard works

01

Predefined or custom ranges.

Select a range

Choose a predefined date range or set a custom date and time. The entire dashboard updates to reflect the selected period.

02

Operation, client, or error.

Group the data

Group by operation name to see which queries drive traffic. Group by client to analyze per-application behavior. Group by error message to identify the most common failures.

03

Filter within each view.

Apply filters

Filters narrow the view to specific requests. Filter by operation, client, or other attributes.

04

Live refresh during incidents.

Investigate

Navigate from aggregated metrics to individual traces. Jump to schema field usage for a specific operation. Auto-refresh at 10s, 30s, 1min, or 5min to monitor live incidents.

What is included

Built into every Cosmo plan

Available on Free, Pro, and Enterprise.

Flexible grouping

Group requests by operation name, client, or error message to turn raw traffic into patterns. Click any grouped row to drill into the individual requests behind it.

Date range selection

Select predefined ranges or set a custom date and time. Available ranges respect your plan's data retention limits.

Cross-view navigation

Move between metrics overview, individual traces, and schema field usage from a single integrated interface. One place for all analytics.

Auto-refresh

Configure auto-refresh at 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. Useful during active incident investigations when data needs to stay current.
