1---2name: azure-managed-grafana3description: Expert knowledge for Azure Managed Grafana development including troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when integrating Azure Managed Grafana with Azure Monitor/AKS, Entra auth, plugins, email alerts, or zone-redundant setups, and other Azure Managed Grafana related development tasks. Not for Azure Monitor (use azure-monitor), Azure Synapse Analytics (use azure-synapse-analytics), Azure Data Explorer (use azure-data-explorer).4---5# Azure Managed Grafana Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Managed Grafana. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Troubleshooting | L35-L40 | Diagnosing and resolving common Azure Managed Grafana
