One point of note for SourceHut's Prometheus use is that we generally don't make dashboards. I don't really like Grafana. I will sometimes use gnuplot with styx to plot graphs on an as-needed basis:

This is how I made the plots in that blog post.
- robotmay 6y agoI have a similar relationship to Grafana as I do for Prometheus; love it for my home and I've got some very useful graphs for my home network, but it's almost unusable for work due to its speed degradation the moment you start adding more graphs. Again it's probably due to my lack of knowledge around some of the Prometheus functions for reducing the amount of data returned, but it would be nice if it could handle some of that automatically rather than just grinding to a halt.
- dewey 6y agoCan't you generate the same kind of graphs you have there with the normal Prometheus query explorer / web ui?
- ddevault 6y agoOn a basic level, yes, but I often just use it as a starting point for more complex gnuplot graphs, or different kinds of visualizations - box plots, histograms, etc.
