Zyntex dashboards let you visualize metrics in real time and share a live view across your team.

​
Creating a dashboard

  1. Open your game in the Zyntex dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Analytics → New Dashboard.
  3. Give it a name and description and click Create.

​
Adding panels

Click + Add Panel, then pick a visualization:
  • Stat: Counter totals or the latest Gauge value.
  • Time‑series: Great for Gauge values over time (CPU %, FPS).
  • Bar: Compare totals across a label (e.g., {region}).
  • Pie: Share of totals by label (device type).
  • Table: Latest values by label (e.g., ping per {server_id}).
  • Heatmap: Spatial buckets (x/z bins) or histogram bucket heatmaps.

​
Bind to a metric

  • Choose a metric (e.g., players_online_total, ping_milliseconds).
  • (Optional) Pick labels to group by (e.g., region, device, server_id).
  • (Optional) Configure aggregations (sum, avg, min, max, rate) and time range.
Counters often pair with rate() or sum() depending on chart type. Gauges use the latest sample; choose avg for smoother lines.

​
Querying panels with Mini‑PromQL

Zyntex supports a simplified PromQL for panel queries. See the full PromQL docs: PromQL documentation. Common patterns 
sum by (region) (players_joined_total)

rate(players_joined_total[5m])

avg_over_time(cpu_utilisation_percent{core="Main"}[10m])

bottomk(5, server_ping_milliseconds)

histogram_quantile(0.9, sum by (le) (rate(ping_milliseconds_bucket[5m])))

​
Examples (pairing metrics to visualizations)

  • Stat panel – server_uptime_seconds_total (Counter)
  • Time‑series – cpu_utilisation_percent (Gauge)
  • Bar – players_online_total by {region} (Counter)
  • Gauge – server_health_percent (Gauge)
  • Pie – device_sessions_total by {device} (Counter)
  • Heatmap – player_heatmap_bucket_total by {x,z} (Counter; preferred x/z bucket approach)
  • Table – server_ping_milliseconds by {server_id} (Gauge)

​
Retention & limits refresher

  • Retention: Free (1 day), Standard (7 days), Business (30 days)
  • Ingestion: 1 flush per 9s per server (default 10s flush)
  • Labels: No hard limits; keep cardinality reasonable
