Honeybadger Insights Parameterized Queries

Make your Honeybadger Insights dashboards and queries dynamic with parameterized queries. In this short walkthrough, we'll take a static system dashboard — showing load average, memory, and disk usage across a fleet of hosts — and turn it into an interactive view you can filter to a single host with one click.

What you'll see:

• Adding a parameter to a widget to filter by host name
• Applying the same parameter across multiple widgets on a dashboard
• Setting default values so dashboards work out of the box
• Sharing prefilled dashboards via URL (parameters are URL-based)
• Using parameters directly in the query editor

Parameterized queries are a simple way to build one dashboard that serves many views — no duplication, no extra widgets, just a shareable URL.
