GrafanaCONline: How to get an organization to adopt a central telemetry solution

May 27, 2020 By Grafana In Grafana
One of the main objections to adopting a centralized telemetry offering that we hear is that “I need this obscure feature from insert your favorite vendor.” So, how did we drive broad adoption of a centralized telemetry solution built in-house using open source software? For a large organization, it’s not just a technical challenge, but also an organizational one. In this talk, I will present the approach we took to convince the 6,000+ engineers at Bloomberg to adopt a new and growing platform. I will discuss some of our key decisions and trade-offs, as well as share the lessons we learned during our four-year journey.

GrafanaCONline: Grafana plugins

May 26, 2020 By Grafana In Grafana
With Grafana 7.0 we are graduating our packages for Plugin Developers to a beta stage. These packages (@grafana/ui, @grafana/data, @grafana/runtime and last but not least @grafana/toolkit) are aimed to simplify the developer experience for those who wish to extend the Grafana platform. In this webinar I’ll present key ideas behind these packages and the way how you can use them to build for the Grafana Platform and create consistent experiences for the audience of your plugins.

GrafanaCONline: Chrome browsing data to Grafana - as you browse

May 26, 2020 By Grafana In Grafana
Chrome Devtools is used by all web developers to debug and inspect network traffic. Sometimes the page loads sluggishly, and then you open Devtools and reload the page, and the problem is gone. What if you wanted to know how well the site performs, for example, when you click six pages? While it is possible to keep the tab open at all times, it is hard to see the big picture from the data in the network tab. This is a wonderful use case for time series and Grafana! In this presentation I will show how to get the same data visualized in Grafana in near real time (1s delay) without opening the Devtools at all.

New in Grafana 7.0: Trace viewer and integrations with Jaeger and Zipkin

May 22, 2020 By Andrej Ocenas In Grafana

Moving to a scalable, distributed microservice architecture poses a great deal of challenges for any organization. It gets harder to understand the system and pinpoint where errors originate. Logs get much messier, and stitching together a coherent picture of a particular request can be time-consuming or downright impossible. Distributed tracing can help with all of that.

This session covers using variables to combine weather records and forecasts to measure a beehive – and how this can help beekeepers. We’ll also show how to compare particulate-matter (PM) measurements of nearby stations from different networks and develop a humidity-correction for low-cost PM sensors within a Grafana dashboard.

GrafanaCONline: Loki future

May 21, 2020 By Grafana In Grafana
It has been two years since Tom Wilkie and David Kaltschmidt created the design doc that kickstarted the Loki project. In this presentation we will go back in time and talk about the original design for Loki and then compare/contrast that with where the project is today. We will then spend some time talking about the future plans for Loki, what some long term goals and non-goals are, what features we would like to add, and highlight the active discussion and plans for the LogQL query language. Finally, we will close by talking about the difficult and often controversial topic of monetizing open source projects – confirming our commitment to Loki open source while explaining our Hosted Loki and Loki Enterprise.
