Embedded Grafana & InfluxDB integration support

Updates

TL;DR

We added support for embedded Grafana and InfluxDB integration


This release of Last9 is all about close collaboration with other Observability tools and workflows you already use in day-to-day work. We bring support for Embedded Grafana within the Last9 Dashboard and first-class support for InfluxDB integration with Last9. Let’s dive in.

📉 Embedded Grafana

A brand new Explore the tab is added in Last9, where you will find — guess what — an embedded Grafana Dashboard where you can create Dashboards on top of your Last9 Clusters.

👷🏻‍♀️What’s possible and what’s not?

  • Explore your metrics with built-in grafana
  • Works out of the box with your Last9 clusters
  • Create observability dashboards and panels using PromQL
  • Alerting and SLOs on top of grafana dashboards are coming soon

🐯 InfluxDB <> Last9

Integration support for getting data from InfluxDB into Last9 using a push-based approach via vmagent. Forget the hassle of pull-based models.

The flow is as follows:

InfluxDB -> Last9
InfluxDB -> Last9

Detailed integration documentation, alternatives, and working code samples are below.

This approach supports dual writes in case someone wants to write to Prometheus and InfluxDB.

P.S. We have a community Discord to discuss all things about SREs. Do hop in if interested!
