Best practices to level up your Grafana dashboarding skills

Grafana offers a wealth of dashboard design options, data visualization configurability, and data manipulation flexibility. Whether you’ve just built your first dashboard or work with Grafana every day, this session will help you uplevel your skills with best practices for creating impactful, dynamic dashboards.

Through real-world use cases and examples of common mistakes in dashboard design, this hands-on lab will explain data formats and the impact they have on visualizing your data, explore multiple powerful transformations, and demonstrate complex data visualization scenarios to help you best configure Grafana dashboards to meet your needs. You’ll discover advanced features you didn’t know about and learn best practices for data visualization and performance optimization.

By the end of the three hours, you will:

• Have a deeper understanding of queries, data formats, transformations, field overrides, panel inspect, and other powerful Grafana features and concepts.
• Leverage multiple visualization panels, dashboard variables, and panel and row repeats in your dashboards.
• Build a bespoke single pane of glass for your data and systems.

Requirements:

• Just bring a laptop.

This session is tailored for dashboard creators, SREs, and data analysts.
