What problem does it solve?
Manually navigating the Grafana UI to manage dashboards, query metrics, and configure alerts is time-consuming and error-prone for DevOps and SRE teams, leading to delayed incident response and inconsistent monitoring setups.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dashboard & Data Source Management: Create, retrieve, and configure Grafana dashboards and connected data sources like Prometheus and InfluxDB.
- Real-Time Metric Querying: Run PromQL queries to pull performance metrics such as QPS, error rates, and resource utilization for production services.
- Alert Configuration: Set up custom alert rules with thresholds and notification settings to proactively detect service issues.
Use case: A platform engineer can use this skill to quickly pull error rate metrics for a microservice and configure a critical alert for 5xx errors exceeding 5% without manually interacting with the Grafana web interface.
Quick Start
Use the grafana skill to retrieve all dashboards related to your production service health and list their panel titles.
