📊 Grafana

You can access Libot's Grafana at https://grafana.mapcolonies.net.

Grafana is our ultimate, single-pane-of-glass observability platform. It allows you to query, visualize, and analyze metrics, logs, and traces from all our data sources (like Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo) in one beautiful interface!

🔐 Authentication​

Logging in is effortless. Access is secured using GitHub SSO, so you can jump right in using your standard GitHub credentials!

🧩 Supercharged Plugins​

We have turbocharged Grafana's core capabilities with these powerful plugins:

  • 🐙 grafana-github-datasource: Pulls data directly from GitHub into our dashboards.
  • ☁️ magnesium-wordcloud-panel: Generates sleek, custom word clouds from log and metric data!
  • ⚡ redis-app: The ultimate Redis plugin. It includes ready-to-use dashboards and a dedicated UI for querying Redis natively.

🤖 AI Integration​

We've wired a powerful LLM directly into Grafana using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and a custom service account! This allows you to chat with Grafana in natural language to generate or modify dashboards. ✨

🛡️ Grace Period Restictions

To keep our production dashboards completely safe, we are currently operating in a grace period. The AI is strictly sandboxed—it can only create and modify resources inside the designated AI folder.

🏗️ Infrastructure as Code (Upcoming)​

Right now, alerts and dashboards are built and managed manually within the UI. But not for long! We are migrating to a fully automated GitOps approach using Grafana sidecar ConfigMaps. Soon, every dashboard and alert will be provisioned automatically straight from our infra repos! 🚀
