Oxynote is a new Apache-2.0 internal wiki that embeds live charts directly into documentation pages by querying Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB. It features a pull-request-like workflow for page changes, ensuring documentation stays current by tying it to daily operational data. The tool supports Grafana-style macros for time filtering, allowing existing dashboard queries to be reused within wiki pages.
- Embeds live SQL charts (time series, bar, gauge) directly into wiki pages
- Supports Grafana macros like $__timeFilter for seamless query migration
- Enforces code-review style approvals for documentation changes
- Read-only database connections mitigate security risks in docs
- Combats stale documentation by making pages relevant daily
Fleet impact: Evaluate Oxynote's read-only connection requirements against current RDS and ExaCC security groups; consider using it to surface live DB health metrics in runbooks to reduce MTTR during incidents.
