About

Grafana is an open visualization and monitoring platform for querying and alerting on time-series databases. Its HTTP API manages dashboard definitions, folder structures, data source configurations, organization preferences, and unified alert rules. Teams use Grafana to correlate metrics from Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, and cloud monitoring services in shared visual interfaces.

Through Fibric, an operator tracks alert rules and dashboard configurations, proposing timeline annotations during system incidents or maintenance windows.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from Grafana and what it could propose, based on the vendor's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Dashboard models, panel configurations, and metadata via GET /api/dashboards/uid/{uid}
  • Configured data sources and health check status through GET /api/datasources
  • Grafana alert rules and rule group status from GET /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules
  • Folder hierarchies and dashboard permissions via GET /api/folders
  • Timeline annotations on dashboards through GET /api/annotations
  • Active alert instances and firing notifications from the Alertmanager API

Proposed actions

  • Target capability: propose creating a dashboard timeline annotation via POST /api/annotations
  • Target capability: propose creating an alert silence in Grafana Alertmanager
  • Target capability: propose updating dashboard tags or folder assignments
  • Target capability: propose creating or updating an alert rule definition

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Annotate deployment markers on operational dashboards

    When code deployments complete, the operator proposes creating an annotation across service dashboards so engineers see when changes took effect.

    With Uptime Response, Change Freeze

  • Silence alerts during scheduled maintenance

    Inspect planned infrastructure maintenance schedules and propose creating Alertmanager silences to prevent spurious notification storms.

    With Alert Noise, On-call Handoff

  • Audit dashboard data source connections

    Regularly inspect data source definitions and test connections, flagging unreachable backends or broken credentials before team dashboards fail.

    With Integration Health

Requirements

  • A Grafana Cloud instance or accessible self-hosted server with API access enabled
  • A service account with Viewer, Editor, or Admin role matching required operations
  • Network line of sight to the Grafana HTTP API endpoint
Authentication
Grafana service account token or API key passed as an Authorization Bearer header to the Grafana instance URL.

Limits

  • Dashboard saves overwrite whole JSON models requiring concurrent edit protections
  • Alert rule provisioning endpoints require Editor or Admin service account privileges
  • Annotation query performance degrades when querying across broad unindexed time windows

Questions and answers

Does this connector work with both Grafana Cloud and self-hosted instances?
Yes. The connector communicates with the standard Grafana HTTP API, supporting Grafana Cloud accounts as well as private self-hosted Grafana Enterprise or open source deployments accessible over HTTPS.
What permissions does the Grafana service account need?
A Viewer role allows reading dashboards, folders, and data source configurations. Creating annotations or managing Alertmanager silences requires an Editor role, while provisioning alert rules requires Admin privileges.
Can Fibric modify dashboard panel layouts directly?
No. Fibric proposes non-destructive actions such as posting timeline annotations, organizing folder tags, or configuring alert silences. Dashboard panel layouts remain under your control.
