## Problem Metrics explorer cards for histograms, counters, and summaries showed **"Too few samples for a rate"** even though the streams had data. The rate window is sized from the org's configured `scrape_interval` (e.g. 15s → `[1m]`), but when data actually arrives less often (the OTel demo app exports every 60s), `rate()` almost never finds the two samples it needs — so every rate-based card rendered the sparse message while gauges charted fine. Reproduced against a live instance: `sum(rate(app_cart_add_item_latency_count[1m]))` → empty; the same query with `[4m]` → `0.172/s`. ## Fix **Widened-window retry** (`useMetricsExplorerGrid.ts`, `computeWidenedRateWindows` in `metricDefaults.ts`): when a rate-based card comes back empty but the presence probe confirms samples exist in the window, retry with geometrically wider windows — 4×, then 16× the standard window, capped at half the range — and chart the first rung that answers. The sparse message now only appears when no honest window could produce a chart. **Editor / dashboard handoff** (`MetricsExplorer.vue`): the drill-in normally hands the editor `$__rate_interval`, which resolves from the same overstated scrape interval — opening a blank editor for a metric the card visibly charts. The preview now remembers which rung worked (`widenedRateWindow`, persisted through the card cache like `nanGuardApplied`), and both the card→editor drill-in and the favorites→dashboard conversion hand over that concrete window instead. Cards that never needed widening keep the adaptive `$__rate_interval` behavior. Supporting changes: - `previewKeysOf` enumerates the widened query keys so refresh invalidates them instead of replaying stale retries from the queue cache. - Persisted-cache identity gains a shape version (`v: 2`) so pre-field entries (widened data with no memory of the window) miss once and re-learn live. - A failing widened retry settles for the sparse answer already in hand rather than repainting the card as an error; cancellations still abort. - During a refresh the loading state carries `widenedRateWindow` alongside the old results it keeps on screen, so a mid-refresh drill-in stays correct. ## Verification - Unit tests: retry ladder math (caps, dedup, no-room-to-widen), first- and second-rung success, all-rungs-fail keeps the sparse card, window carried on the preview, handoff passes the concrete window vs `$__rate_interval` — 182 tests across the four spec files pass; ESLint and vue-tsc clean. - Live against a dev backend: previously-sparse `app_cart_*` cards all render (network log shows `[1m]` → empty, presence probe, `[4m]` → data); drill-in opens the editor seeded with `sum(rate(...[4m]))` and a rendered chart, from both the live-query and cache-restored paths.

This template should help get you started developing with Vue 3 in Vite.
Recommended IDE Setup
VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).
Type Support for .vue Imports in TS
TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.
If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:
- Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
- Run
Extensions: Show Built-in Extensionsfrom VSCode's command palette - Find
TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and selectDisable (Workspace)
- Run
- Reload the VSCode window by running
Developer: Reload Windowfrom the command palette.

Project Setup
npm install
Compile and Hot-Reload for Development
For stand-alone UI development environment, create .env file and which contains below environment variable
VITE_OPENOBSERVE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:5080/
npm run dev
Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
npm run build
Run Unit Tests with Vitest
npm run test:unit
Run End-to-End Tests with Cypress
npm run test:e2e:dev
This runs the end-to-end tests against the Vite development server. It is much faster than the production build.
But it's still recommended to test the production build with test:e2e before deploying (e.g. in CI environments):
npm run build
npm run test:e2e
Lint with ESLint
npm run lint
