GrafanaCONline Day 8: Introducing the new plugins platform in Grafana v7.0

Welcome to the third and last week of GrafanaCONline! We hope you’re able to check out all of our great online sessions. If you didn’t get a chance to watch yesterday’s sessions (or want to see them again), here’s a roundup of day 8 of the conference.

GrafanaCONline: Prometheus rate queries in Grafana

Which range to use in a Prometheus rate query is already a bit of rocket science. When Grafana enters the game to visualize the result of such a query, things get even more interesting. In most cases, you’ll end up with a dynamic range, but navigating the many available settings for it is sometimes a bit daunting. But do not despair, this talk will teach you all you have to know, even in case when you add to the mix recording rules, which are blissfully ignorant of any dynamic range requested by Grafana.

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: 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...

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.

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

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.

GrafanaCONline Day 6 recap: The power of Tanka, and a peek into the world of beehive monitoring with Grafana dashboards
