modra40 Grafana Mastery (Senior → Principal)
Operate
- Start from operator workflows, not aesthetic dashboards.
- Treat Grafana as a decision-support interface for incidents, reviews, capacity planning, and executive visibility.
- Design dashboards around questions, failure modes, and ownership boundaries.
- Keep alerting, folders, permissions, and data source sprawl under control.
Default Standards
- Dashboards should support triage in minutes.
- Variables and templating must reduce toil, not hide logic.
- Folder, team, and permission models should reflect ownership.
- Logs, metrics, and traces should converge on the same service reality.
- Provisioning and change review should be predictable.
