Grafana OSS

Operational dashboards that help your teams understand their systems

We provide Grafana OSS consulting, deployment, dashboard development, data source integration, and operational support. We help organizations create a shared view of application and infrastructure behavior using the capabilities available in the open source edition.

A practical foundation for your team

Our services connect dashboard design with data quality, query behavior, access, alerting, and platform maintenance. We work with your operators, developers, and service owners to present information that supports investigation and day-to-day decisions.

An effective dashboard needs meaningful measurements, clear labels, appropriate time ranges, and reliable queries. Its usefulness also depends on the data sources and the people responsible for maintaining it.

We help your team build and organize Grafana content as part of an operational workflow, with edition-appropriate access and integration choices.

What we do

Our Grafana OSS Services

01 / 10

Observability Assessment and Dashboard Planning

Define the questions Grafana should help your teams answer. We review available data sources, user groups, service relationships, and existing dashboards before planning the views and platform setup needed for practical operational use.

  • Operational requirement workshops
  • Data source assessment
  • Dashboard structure planning
  • Deployment architecture review

02 / 10

Deployment and Production Configuration

Establish Grafana OSS with validated platform settings and dependencies. We configure the application, selected metadata database, and network access, then verify service behavior and document the deployment for administration and future maintenance.

  • Application installation
  • Database and runtime configuration
  • Network and proxy integration
  • Production readiness checks

03 / 10

Data Source and Plugin Integration

Connect Grafana to the monitoring and analytical systems selected for the project. We configure available data source integrations, review plugin compatibility and licensing, and validate permissions, queries, and connection behavior before dashboard development proceeds.

  • Prometheus and database integration
  • Data source permission review
  • Plugin compatibility assessment
  • Connection and query validation

04 / 10

Dashboard Design and Development

Create dashboards around user tasks and service behavior. We organize panels, variables, filters, and navigation, validating units and calculations so that teams can interpret the information and move from an overview to a useful investigation path.

  • Panel and dashboard development
  • Variables and filtering
  • Units and calculation validation
  • Dashboard navigation design

05 / 10

Query and Dashboard Performance

Investigate slow or expensive dashboard requests across Grafana and its data sources. We review time ranges, refresh intervals, query structure, and returned data, then test improvements with representative user activity and source-system constraints.

  • Query cost and latency analysis
  • Refresh and time-range review
  • Panel data-volume tuning
  • Workload validation

06 / 10

Alerting and Notification Workflows

Configure the alerting capabilities available in Grafana OSS for selected operational conditions. We review evaluation behavior, contact points, and notification policies, and test the route from a detected condition to an actionable message and investigation guide.

  • Alert rule configuration
  • Contact point integration
  • Notification policy setup
  • Alert testing and runbooks

07 / 10

Access, Provisioning, and Administration

Organize platform access and configuration using the capabilities of the selected OSS release. We review users, teams, organizations, folders, and supported provisioning methods so that administration remains understandable and recurring changes are easier to manage.

  • User and team administration
  • Folder and role configuration
  • Supported authentication integration
  • Dashboard and data source provisioning

08 / 10

Backup, Upgrades, and Maintenance

Keep dashboards and platform configuration recoverable through planned change. We protect the metadata database and required configuration, review plugin and version compatibility, and validate dashboards, data sources, and alerts after upgrades or restoration.

  • Database and configuration backup
  • Restore validation
  • Plugin and version review
  • Post-upgrade functional checks

09 / 10

Technical Support

Get help with broken panels, failed data sources, slow queries, access problems, alert delivery issues, and plugin or upgrade errors. We examine the available evidence, coordinate investigation across the relevant components, and help your team identify corrective actions.

Support arrangements define the covered environment, service hours, communication channels, priorities, and escalation process. This gives your team a clear route for requesting assistance and following an issue through investigation, validation, and closure.

  • Incident investigation and troubleshooting
  • Configuration and integration assistance
  • Root-cause analysis within the agreed scope
  • Resolution guidance and incident documentation

10 / 10

Training and Knowledge Transfer

Build practical understanding of dashboard authoring, data source administration, query review, OSS alerting, provisioning, backup, and platform maintenance. We tailor sessions to the environment and the responsibilities of the people developing, administering, and supporting it.

Workshops can use your configuration, representative examples, and agreed operating scenarios. Documentation and runbook walkthroughs help your team apply the knowledge after the engagement.

  • Role-focused technical workshops
  • Configuration and workflow walkthroughs
  • Troubleshooting and maintenance guidance
  • Documentation and operational handover

A practical approach to Grafana OSS

We review dashboards with the people who will use them during normal operations and incidents. Validation includes units, filters, data freshness, permissions, and the data-source behavior behind each panel, helping your team maintain views that remain useful over time.

We agree the work and acceptance checks with your team, validate changes in a suitable environment, and document the outcome. Clear handover makes the configuration, operating procedures, and next actions easier to maintain after delivery.

Supported Versions and Support Hours

Supported versions

Versions below were confirmed against upstream release information on 15 October 2026. We reconfirm them at the start of each engagement.

  • Grafana OSS 12.4 (supported to 24 May 2027). Upstream supports each minor version for about 9 months.

Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud are separate commercial products and are not covered. AGPLv3: modifications to Grafana that are exposed over a network carry source-code obligations. We advise on compliance and prefer configuration over code changes.

Support hours

Standard support is delivered in business hours, Monday to Saturday, India Standard Time. Coverage hours, response targets and escalation steps for each severity are defined in the service agreement. Upstream response times are outside our control.
