What this skill does

Build, modify, and ship Grafana dashboards as JSON via the HTTP API — panel types (timeseries / stat / gauge / table / heatmap / logs / traces / node-graph), gridPos 24-column layout, units, thresholds, template + datasource + chained variables, transformations (organize / calculateField / filterByValue), panel + dashboard links with ${field.labels.x} / ${from}, and Loki/Prometheus annotations.

When it triggers

  • Use when scripting dashboard creation, writing the dashboard JSON for a new service, adding a $job dropdown variable, computing an "Error %" column with a transformation, overlaying deploys as annotations, or pushing a dashboard via POST /a
  • "Error %"
  • "create a dashboard for this metric"
  • "add a service dropdown"
  • "show errors as percentage"
  • "overlay our deploys"
  • "export the dashboard JSON"
