Queries, Alerts and Dashboards
This section is a quick start on how to define Queries, Alerts and Dashboards with the Baselime CLI.
Baselime is based on Observability as Code: defining your observability configurations as code, rather than point-and-click web UIs. Our entire platform is driven by YAML files that you can track in your version control.
Create a .baselime.yml
file in the root of your project folder, and use it to define queries, alerts and dashboards.
baselime init
You can use the CLI to apply your observability configurations.
baselime apply
All queries, alerts and dashboards created in the web UI can be exported as YAML files.
#
Queries
You can create queries using the .baselime.yml
file.

- MAX(extra.duration)
- MIN(extra.duration)
- P99(extra.duration)

#
Channels
You can create channels that are sinks where messages can be sent from Baselime
