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

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

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

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.

GrafanaCONline week three: Plugins, Chrome browsing data, Prometheus rate queries, and more

The third and last week of GrafanaCONline starts today! We hope you’re able to check out all of our great online sessions. If you’ve missed any sessions (or want to watch them again), the videos are available on demand here. Here’s what’s coming up today...

Dynamic presentations with Canvas

Canvas is data visualization and presentation tool that sits within Kibana. It allows us to pull live data directly from Elasticsearch and combine it with colours, images and text in order to create dynamic and visually appealing presentations. This talk will cover the basics of building your first presentation based on the live data from Elasticsearch. If you enjoy immersing yourself in the creative process while applying your technical skills, you should join us for this talk.

How to Create a Graph Using Tags and Time Aggregation | Datadog Tips & Tricks

In this video, you’ll learn how to use tag-based grouping and time aggregation (with the rollup function) to create actionable time-series graphs. Datadog offers various ways to manipulate your metric graphs so that you can create graphs that are specific and actionable for all of your use cases. Two methods of doing this—as explored in this video—are tag-based grouping and time aggregation.

Cortex v1.1 released with improved reliability and performance

Today we’re releasing Cortex 1.1, the first (minor) release since Cortex went GA in March, over 6 weeks ago. This release represents more than 140 commits by over 30 different authors from 9 different companies. In this post we’re going to give you some of the highlights of this release.

GrafanaCONline: Chrome browsing data to Grafana - as you browse

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.
