Labels

Labels shows every resource attribute your SDK attaches to its profiles — region, pod, version, or anything else you’ve tagged — as its own card, with a chart and a clickable list of values. It’s how you answer “is this CPU spike coming from one pod, or all of them?” without leaving the grid.

At the top of the page:

  • Search — filters the cards by label key.
  • Service and Profile type dropdowns — same selection you’d make on Profile Types; Labels only shows data for one service and type at a time.

Once you’ve clicked a value on any card, a “N filters active” indicator and a View in Flame Graph → link appear, so you can carry your filters straight into the Flame Graph view instead of rebuilding them there.

Each card is one label key. It shows a mini chart of the selected profile type, scoped to whatever filters are already active — and the chips beneath it are that label’s own values, click any one to add it as a filter.

There’s one deliberate exception: a label’s own active filter is left out of its own chart, even though it’s applied to every other card’s chart. Filter on region=us-east and every other card’s chart narrows to us-east, but the region card itself keeps showing all regions — otherwise selecting a value would collapse that one chart down to a single flat line, which defeats the point of using it to compare values.

Click a selected chip again to remove that filter.

  • Profile Types — pick the service and profile type Labels filters within.
  • Flame Graph — where your active label filters carry over when you click View in Flame Graph.
