The Configurations page displays all configurations with:
- Search bar for filtering by name or description

Best practices
Organization
- Use descriptive names that indicate purpose
- Add detailed descriptions for complex configurations
- Apply consistent labeling schemes
- Group related configurations with labels
Performance
- Set appropriate collection intervals based on metric importance
- Configure buffer sizes to handle peak loads
- Use filters to reduce unnecessary metric collection
- Test configurations before deployment
Security
- Use secret stores for sensitive credentials
- Avoid hardcoding passwords in configurations
- Implement least-privilege access principles
- Regularly audit configuration access
Maintenance
- Review and update configurations periodically
- Remove unused configurations
- Document configuration purposes and dependencies
- Test changes in development before production
