# Drilldown apps in Grafana version 12
<a name="v12-drilldown"></a>

The Grafana Drilldown apps provide a queryless experience for exploring telemetry signals. Instead of writing complex queries, you can use intuitive point-and-click interactions to explore your metrics, logs, and traces data.

**Note**  
Drilldown apps are introduced in Amazon Managed Grafana version 12. The Drilldown apps were previously known as the Explore apps. For example, Explore Logs is now Logs Drilldown, and Explore Metrics is now Metrics Drilldown.

The following Drilldown apps are available in Amazon Managed Grafana version 12:

**Topics**
+ [Metrics Drilldown](v12-drilldown-metrics.md)
+ [Logs Drilldown](v12-drilldown-logs.md)
+ [Traces Drilldown](v12-drilldown-traces.md)
+ [Profiles Drilldown](v12-drilldown-profiles.md)

# Metrics Drilldown
<a name="v12-drilldown-metrics"></a>

The Metrics Drilldown app provides a queryless, point-and-click experience for exploring Prometheus metric data. You can quickly find related metrics without needing to write PromQL queries.

Key capabilities include:
+ Browse and discover metrics without writing queries.
+ OpenTelemetry filtering support that automates label joins for non-promoted resource attributes.
+ Native histogram support for higher-resolution visualizations.
+ Pivot from metrics to related logs to correlate signals.
+ Entry point directly from alerting rules.

To access Metrics Drilldown, choose **Drilldown** and then **Metrics** from the Grafana navigation menu.

# Logs Drilldown
<a name="v12-drilldown-logs"></a>

The Logs Drilldown app provides a queryless experience for browsing Loki logs. You can discover or narrow down your search by using volume and text patterns without needing to compose LogQL queries.

Key capabilities include:
+ Visualize log volumes to detect anomalies or significant changes over time.
+ Customizable top-level filtering by any indexed label.
+ Regex filtering for pattern matching in raw log lines.
+ Log patterns for identifying common log structures.
+ JSON viewer for structured log lines.
+ Infinite scrolling to browse large log volumes without pagination.
+ Shareable links to specific log lines or result sets.

To access Logs Drilldown, choose **Drilldown** and then **Logs** from the Grafana navigation menu.

# Traces Drilldown
<a name="v12-drilldown-traces"></a>

The Traces Drilldown app provides a queryless experience for exploring distributed Tempo traces. You can use Rate, Errors, and Duration (RED) metrics derived from traces to investigate and understand errors and latency issues within complex distributed systems.

Key capabilities include:
+ Navigate from high-level RED signals to detailed span views.
+ Use exemplars to jump from metrics to individual traces.
+ Built-in filtering, comparisons, and root cause correlation.
+ Transition between traces, logs, metrics, and profiles for a unified observability workflow.

To access Traces Drilldown, choose **Drilldown** and then **Traces** from the Grafana navigation menu.

# Profiles Drilldown
<a name="v12-drilldown-profiles"></a>

The Profiles Drilldown app integrates with Pyroscope, the open-source continuous profiling platform, providing a queryless experience for browsing and analyzing profiling data.

Key capabilities include:
+ View and analyze high-level service performance.
+ Identify problem processes for optimization.
+ Diagnose issues to determine root causes using flame graphs.

**Note**  
The Profiles Drilldown app requires a Pyroscope data source to be configured in your workspace.

To access Profiles Drilldown, choose **Drilldown** and then **Profiles** from the Grafana navigation menu.
