Yeah, deep links are essential. Datadog's really good at this. They also have a nice preview generator so that when you drop that link into Slack it generates a preview image of the dashboard with all of the filters applied. It's

Thanks for the example, it helped me understand the idea. The thing that I'm unclear on is how do I figure out what data to ship to the user? Like if I don't already have a database-per-user then I have to extract only the data th
