HyperDX 2.39.0 routes PromQL through ClickHouse's Prometheus HTTP API

observabilityanalyticsclickhouseopentelemetrydevtools
◆Current state
HyperDX shipped a substantive 2.39.0 across four monorepo packages: the API layer gains PromQL support via ClickHouse 26.8's stable Prometheus HTTP API endpoint (replacing two unstable table functions), AES-256-GCM token encryption for stored third-party credentials, dashboard tile alert import for Terraform, and an onboarding checklist that tracks MCP server usage. The app layer adds alert creation directly from the chart explorer and a streaming metric name picker that shows first results in ~30ms instead of ~770ms.
◆Where it's heading
HyperDX is deepening ClickHouse integration at every layer — the PromQL proxy signals alignment with ClickHouse's direction on TimeSeries, and spanmetrics compilation into the collector opens RED metrics derivation from Datadog-ingested traces. The token encryption feature and Terraform coverage expansion point toward security-conscious enterprise buyers. MCP server tracking in onboarding signals investment in AI-adjacent workflows.
◆Prediction
PromQL support will likely expand to more chart types. The Terraform provider will add coverage for more resource types as IaC adoption grows. Token encryption will be a required setting for any enterprise sales motion.

    Two fixes: duration axis labels were clipping at their render budget, and the all-in-one Docker image was copying the wrong libssl/libcrypto from a different Alpine point release, breaking image builds. Infrastructure-only fixes.

    [email protected] proxies PromQL queries to ClickHouse's Prometheus HTTP API (ClickHouse 26.8+) instead of the previously-used table functions — a deliberate bet on the stable API path over an unstable schema. Also adds AES-256-GCM token encryption, dashboard tile alert export for Terraform, and per-user onboarding milestones that track MCP server usage.

    [email protected] adds alert creation directly from the chart explorer (no saved search or dashboard tile required), a user filter for the LLM dashboard, and a streaming metric name picker that delivers first results in ~30ms rather than ~770ms by reading ClickHouse's primary index rather than doing a full aggregation.

    [email protected] exposes the PromQL infrastructure and streaming metric picker in the shared layer, enables PromQL label-based dashboard filters, makes certain dashboard filters required, and scopes the tags endpoint by resource type. Library changes that support the 2.39.0 app and API features.

    [email protected] adds text indexes for seeding the trace schema and compiles in the spanmetrics connector, enabling RED metrics derivation from spans — most useful for teams ingesting Datadog Agent traces where span-derived metrics weren't previously available.

    [email protected] accepts Bearer-prefixed Authorization headers on the OTLP receiver, fixing rejection of RFC 6750-compliant clients. Straightforward compatibility fix for clients that correctly format Authorization headers.
