Pages can embed charts that run live queries against Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB right next to the explanatory text. Changes to important pages go through a draft, diff, and approval process similar to a pull request. The idea is that live data gives teams a reason to open docs daily, keeping them from going stale. A typical use case is a runbook showing replication lag or slow query counts alongside the steps for handling them. For PostgreSQL, queries run in read-only sessions, optionally against a standby or with default_transaction_read_only enabled. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I keep internal runbooks from going stale? Embed live data charts directly in the documentation pages so people open them regularly rather than only during incidents. Oxynote, an open-source Apache-2.0 wiki, lets a page include a chart that runs its own query against Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB next to the explanatory text, and pages read daily tend to stay accurate. _Teams fighting documentation rot can track tools like this for keeping runbooks current on daily.dev._ ### How does Oxynote run PostgreSQL queries safely for dashboard charts? It executes every query in a read-only session, optionally against a standby or a connection with default_transaction_read_only enabled. It also supports Grafana-style template variables such as $__timeFilter, $__timeGroup, and $__timeFrom, so existing dashboard queries can be reused without rewriting them. _Developers evaluating safe read-only query tooling for PostgreSQL dashboards can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Oxynote: Self-Hosted Wiki with Live Metrics \(Docker Guide\)](https://daily.dev/posts/oxynote-self-hosted-wiki-with-live-metrics-docker-guide--wsiiz3non) · Noted · 19 upvotes · 1 comments - [LibreDB Studio: an open source, self-hosted SQL IDE for PostgreSQL in the browser](https://daily.dev/posts/libredb-studio-an-open-source-self-hosted-sql-ide-for-postgresql-in-the-browser-hamfaprfe) · PostgreSQL · 67 upvotes · 3 comments - [Launch HN: Onyx \(YC W24\) – Open-source chat UI](https://daily.dev/posts/launch-hn-onyx-yc-w24-open-source-chat-ui-k6iwv1zyz) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [GitHub - oivoodoo/phoenix\_lens: Analytics dashboard for your Repo.](https://daily.dev/posts/github---oivoodoo-phoenix-lens-analytics-dashboard-for-your-repo--sk8ac4lma) · ElixirStatus · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AlloyDB Omni: Secure, hybrid database modernization for finance](https://daily.dev/posts/alloydb-omni-secure-hybrid-database-modernization-for-finance-dh2x0vi0q) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#postgresql](https://daily.dev/tags/postgresql), [#observability](https://daily.dev/tags/observability) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/oxynote-an-open-source-internal-wiki-with-live-postgresql-query-charts-ulpncfjw7) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Oxynote: an open source internal wiki with live PostgreSQL query charts","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/oxynote-an-open-source-internal-wiki-with-live-postgresql-query-charts-ulpncfjw7","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/oxynote-an-open-source-internal-wiki-with-live-postgresql-query-charts-ulpncfjw7"},"datePublished":"2026-10-28T11:28:58.314Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T15:00:06.615Z","description":"Oxynote is a new open-source internal wiki, licensed under Apache-2.0, built for engineering teams.
