The Grafana Dashboard Template Generator automates dashboard creation by producing Grafana-compatible JSON models through the Grafana HTTP API (v9+). It leverages grafonnet-lib patterns to construct panels, rows, and templating variables programmatically, supporting Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, and Elasticsearch datasources in a single dashboard.
What this skill actually does
Given a service name and its metrics schema, the agent generates a comprehensive dashboard with: RED metrics panels (Rate, Errors, Duration) using PromQL, log volume histograms from Loki LogQL queries, trace duration distributions from Tempo TraceQL, and resource utilization gauges. All panels include proper unit formatting, threshold coloring, and drill-down links.
The generator supports Grafana folder organization, provisioning-compatible YAML output for gitops workflows, and annotation queries for deployment markers. It can also produce reusable library panels and dashboard variables with custom regex filters. Output dashboards are validated against Grafana’s JSON schema before deployment via the Dashboard API.
