Create data-driven documents with notebooks

When investigating complex issues or sharing insights with your team, you often find yourself jumping between different tools, copying queries, taking screenshots, and struggling to maintain context as you piece together a complete story from your data. Traditional dashboards are great for monitoring, but they fall short when you need to document investigations, create detailed post-mortems, or build step-by-step analytical workflows.

Notebooks solve this problem by providing a dynamic and organized way to tell a complete story with your data. They are structured, data-driven documents that let you combine queries, visualizations, and descriptive text into a single, shareable asset, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools or lose important context during your analysis.

사용 사례

Use notebooks to improve your workflow and turn raw data into actionable stories:

• Query, analyze, and visualize data: Query all your observability data (logs, metrics, events) and create visualizations to gain a better understanding of your system's performance.
• Create post-mortems and incident documents: Collaborate with your team to document investigations and create a clear, reusable record for incident post-mortems and root cause analysis.
• Build reusable workflows and runbooks: Create and share step-by-step guides for complex analysis.
• Add context and narrative: Use Markdown to easily add detailed titles, notes, and explanations to your queries and charts, transforming disconnected data points into a cohesive story.

Get started with notebooks

Now that you understand the basics of notebooks, you're ready to start creating and managing your own notebooks.

Access notebooks

To access notebooks:

1. one.newrelic.com 으로 이동합니다.
2. Open the Query your data console from the drawer at the bottom of the page.
3. Click Notebooks in the query builder header to see a list of all notebooks created by your organization.

Notebook blocks

Blocks are the fundamental building units of a notebook. They are individual sections you add to structure your analysis and narrative.

Query blocks

Use query blocks to write NRQL queries and visualize the results. All single query chart types and customizations available in the standard query builder are supported in notebooks.

Text blocks

Use Markdown to add rich text, titles, context, explanations, and descriptive text to tell the story of your investigation.

Block actions

Every block can be manipulated to organize your document:

• Duplicate: Create a copy of the block
• Delete: Remove the block from your notebook
• Move Up/Down: Reorder blocks within your notebook
• Move to Top/Bottom: Quickly move blocks to the beginning or end

Notebooks permissions

Before you start creating notebooks, it's important to understand how permissions work and who will have access to your notebooks.

Organization association

Every notebook is a resource that belongs to the organization in which it was created. This association is permanent and cannot be changed. Notebooks cannot be shared between different organizations. If the organization is deleted, the notebook is deleted as well. If a user moves to a different organization, they will not have access to notebooks from their previous organization.

Current permissions model

Current capabilities:

• All organization members with notebooks access can view all notebooks
• All organization members with notebooks access can create, edit, and delete any notebook
• Notebooks are automatically shared across your entire organization
