Dashboards

A very fun part of my job as a Solutions Engineer at Grafana Labs is getting to learn the ins and outs of a new feature or play with a plugin while it is still in development. So, when I heard murmurs that our latest Enterprise plugin would be an integration with Jira, I felt the forsaken call of the agile sirens luring me back to my days when I worked as a technical writer on a product team.

We’ve been experimenting with new ways to use and operate Prometheus over the past year. Every successful Grafana Agent experiment turns into an upstream contribution for the whole Prometheus community to benefit from. In this blog post, I go over the history of the Agent’s successful — and not so successful — experiments.

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since we've gone on a learning journey together, after the Azure Monitor Learning Path. I’m thankful for the love that series received, and since then, I've been looking for another opportunity to take on something new and share my learning experience with you all. Finally, the time has come!

Grafana v7.5 has been released! This is the last stable release before we launch Grafana 8.0 at GrafanaCONline in June. Register for free now, so you won’t miss the great sessions we’re planning around all things Grafana. And if you’re doing something special with Grafana that you’d like to share with the community, the CFP for GrafanaCONline is open until 06:59 UTC on April 10! Now, back to 7.5.

Over the past few months, we’ve been working on some major updates to Circonus — a new dashboard builder and interface along with several turnkey service dashboards. In the following post, we’ll share the motivation and process behind this project, then walk you through what you can expect. Circonus has provided the ability to create custom drag and drop dashboards for some time. However, this feature was added several years ago.

As part of my job as a Senior Solutions Engineer here at Grafana Labs, I tend to pretty easily find ways out of technical troubles. However, I was recently having some Wi-Fi issues at home and needed to do some troubleshooting. My experience changed my whole opinion on logs, and I wanted to share my story in hopes that I could open up some other people’s eyes as well. (I originally posted a version of this story on my personal blog in January.) First, some background info.

As the product manager for Grafana Cloud, I am constantly following the progress of all the new features that our engineering teams are working on, from early ideation to release. We’re always excited to share updates with the community, so you can all try them out and let us know what you think. So each month, I’ll be rounding up the latest Grafana Cloud features and improvements on the blog.

We recently released the Lumigo Dynamic Dashboard to help our customers visualize metrics to monitor their environment the way they want.
