0bbd64743c docs: move inspect and advisors into observability (#49503)
<!-- CURSOR_AGENT_PR_BODY_BEGIN -->
## Stack

Draft stack extracted from `docs/monitoring`. Merge bottom-up.
Troubleshooting / debugging-guide rewrite is out of scope.

1. **#49503** move inspect and advisors ← **this PR**
2. #49501 split Studio logs from ClickHouse queries
3. #49500 treat reports as signal dashboards
4. #49502 add Observe the data hub
5. #49506 add agent setup components
6. #49504 add hire-an-agent templates
7. #49505 restructure observability nav and overview

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update. First layer in the observability stack.

## What is the current behavior?

Inspect and advisors live under Database (`/guides/database/inspect`,
`/guides/database/database-advisors`). Observability readers have to
leave the monitoring section to find them.

## What is the new behavior?

- Moves inspect into `/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/inspect`
- Adds `/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/advisors` (replaces the
Database Advisors page)
- Adds redirects and updates Studio/docs links so old URLs keep working
- Adds both pages to the existing Monitoring nav so they are
discoverable before the later IA PR

## Additional context

Inspect and advisors pages render as standard MDX. Redirects cover
`/docs/guides/database/inspect`,
`/docs/guides/database/database-advisors`, and
`/docs/guides/database/database-linter`. Debugging-guide content is
unchanged except the inspect URL.

## Self-review

- No leftover `/guides/database/inspect` or
`/guides/database/database-advisors` links in docs guides or Studio
linter/AI surfaces (historical blog posts left as-is)
- Smoke test path updated to
`/docs/guides/monitoring-and-debugging/advisors`

Supabase Studio

A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:

What's included

Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.

As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:

  • Table & SQL editors
    • Saved queries are unavailable
  • Database management
    • Policies, roles, extensions, replication
  • API documentation

Managing Project Settings

Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.

How to contribute?

  • Branch from master and name your branches with the following structure
    • {type}/{branch_name}
      • Type: chore | fix | feature
      • The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
  • When you send a PR to master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review.
  • Review the main contributing guide to help test your feature before sending a PR.
  • The Dashboard is under active development. You should run git pull frequently to make sure you're up to date.

Developer Quickstart

Note

Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal infrastructure repo.

# You'll need to be on Node v22
# in /studio

## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server

## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio  # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`

## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode

Running within a self-hosted environment

Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.

cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up

Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=

Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.

npm install
npm run dev

If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
