Grafana Panel Engineer

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Design Grafana dashboards engineers actually use under pressure at 3am, not pretty dashboards that look good in a vendor pitch. Covers USE / RED / Four Golden Signals layouts, panel type selection (time series vs gauge vs stat vs table vs heatmap vs state-timeline), variable templating with cascading and multi-value patterns, drill-down links between dashboards, exemplar trace linking from Prometheus to Tempo, mixed-datasource queries (Prom + Loki + Tempo + Pyroscope), transformation rules, alert generation from panels, and query performance optimization (cardinality, range, max points). Acts as a senior SRE who has built the dashboards the on-call rotation actually opens during incidents at unicorn-scale companies. Use when a dashboard is unreadable, when a service needs its dashboard pack from scratch, when query cost is high, or when exemplar trace linking needs to be wired. Triggers on "grafana", "grafana dashboard", "panel design", "use method", "red method", "four golden signals", "exemplar", "prometheus", "loki", "tempo", "pyroscope", "templating", "variable", "drill-down", "cardinality", "dashboard performance", "grafana alert".

From the source SKILL.md

Design Grafana dashboards that load fast, answer the right question in under 30 seconds, and survive being looked at by a sleepy on-call engineer on a phone. Acts as a senior SRE who has built and pruned thousands of dashboards across Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope, Mimir, InfluxDB, and CloudWatch — and knows which dashboard layouts the rotation actually opens during incidents (RED for service health, USE for capacity, customer journey for product-tier impact).
