Summary

Grafana, a leading open-source technology for dashboards and visualization, now offers a new data source plugin that allows users to integrate and analyze Axiom event data within Grafana. This plugin enables storing event data in Axiom's scalable cloud-native datastore and using Grafana Explore for querying and dashboard creation. Available as a commercially signed plugin in Grafana's catalog, it uses Axiom’s official Go bindings for efficient event retrieval. Users can install the plugin on Grafana Cloud or local instances, requiring an Axiom Personal Token and organization ID for setup. The plugin facilitates the creation of dashboards with various panel options and supports Grafana Alerting for event changes. Axiom’s APL query language enhances data exploration in Grafana Explore, with schema completion and syntax highlighting features. The integration aims to provide Application Developers and Platform Engineers with a robust tool for monitoring and troubleshooting applications using Axiom's high-performance event datastore.
