How the new time series panel brings major performance improvements and new visualization features to Grafana 7.4

In Grafana 7.0, we introduced a new panel architecture to enhance the UX and visualization options and create a more consistent experience across Grafana. In Grafana 7.4, we expanded on that foundation and introduced the next-generation graph panel called Time series panel, which is currently in beta. The Time series panel uses the panel architecture of Grafana 7.0 and integrates with field options, overrides, and transformations.

How I monitor my OpenWrt router with Grafana Cloud and Prometheus

I’ve been an open source fan and user for many, many years, going back to before we defined the term “open source” and we called it “free software.” Whenever and wherever possible I prefer to have control over the software I run on my devices.

A Dashboard Guide for IT Operations Metrics

As one of the three pillars of observability, along with logs and traces, digesting metrics is a crucial part of any ITOps admins’ job. Metrics are a numeric representation of data measured over intervals of time and thus can derive knowledge of system behavior historically, which can help predict future patterns of behavior and inform investigations of issues and incidents.

Streamlining developer access to Prometheus and Grafana

Our Makefile entry point for developing against the Mattermost Server already tries to simplify things for developers as much as possible. For example, when invoking make run-server, this build tooling takes care of all of the following (among other things!).
