Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Grafana Dashboards
Create and manage production-ready Grafana dashboards for comprehensive system observability.
## Purpose
Design effective Grafana dashboards for monitoring applications, infrastructure, and business metrics.
## When to Use
- Visualize Prometheus metrics
- Create custom dashboards
- Implement SLO dashboards
- Monitor infrastructure
- Track business KPIs
## Dashboard Design Principles
### 1. Hierarchy of Information
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Critical Metrics (Big Numbers) │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Key Trends (Time Series) │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Detailed Metrics (Tables/Heatmaps) │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### 2. RED Method (Services)
- **Rate** - Requests per second
- **Errors** - Error rate
- **Duration** - Latency/response time
### 3. USE Method (Resources)
- **Utilization** - % time resource is busy
- **Saturation** - Queue length/wait time
- **Errors** - Error count

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/grafana-dashboards@sha256:9ee1be2a4913dfd0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.156b7a5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
