Sneak peek: PMM Query Analytics (QAN) UI redesign

https://storage.tally.so/cb91ea02-7fc7-4320-81e2-004c20aad5e4/Heading-2.png

Welcome! We are exploring some major UX improvements for Query Analytics (QAN) in Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), and we need your expert eyes and say.

To deliver value quickly, we are currently testing a frontend-focused redesign aimed at making daily troubleshooting faster, more intuitive, and less cluttered. However, before we commit to building this out, we want to make sure it actually solves real-world problems.

Here is how you can help below in 2 steps.

Step 1: Watch and compare

Current UI (static image)

How it looks today at a glance.

New UI (video demo)

This is a preliminary concept designed to gather feedback. We are sharing this to learn from your experience, but specific features and release dates are not guaranteed at this stage.

Step 2: Answer four questions

How does the new UI compare to the current UI?

Based on the new UI video demo above, rate your first impression of it.

Please share a bit more about why you gave the previous rating.

How important is it that the UI automatically hides metrics and filters for database technologies you don't use?

For example, hiding MongoDB-specific metrics and columns when you are only analyzing PostgreSQL databases.

When troubleshooting a performance spike, which filtering approach works best for you?

A

I rely on seeing the full list of categories and data percentages (facets) to figure out what I need to filter by.

B

I prefer the cleaner, structured search tokens/RegEx to build precise queries and maximize the screen space for the table.

C

A mix of A and B: I like the clean top bar, but I still need visual summaries (facets) somewhere to guide me.

What is the one long-standing feature or fix you have been waiting forever to see in QAN?

For example, you can tell us your “dream state” for this tool.

Want to stay in the loop and shape future PMM features? (Optional)

Leave your email below if you'd like (optional). We will use it for two things: to notify you when this new QAN design officially gets a release date, and to occasionally invite you to test early UX prototypes for other upcoming features.
