At KubeCon 2019, Grafana Labs' Director of UX, David Kaltschmidt, emphasized the importance of creating foolproof Kubernetes dashboards to alleviate the stress of on-call shifts. Drawing from personal experiences, Kaltschmidt highlighted the challenges of managing on-call duties, particularly when dealing with complex systems like Kubernetes. To address these issues, he introduced the Dashboarding Maturity Model (DMM), which provides a structured approach to improving dashboard consistency and effectiveness within organizations. The model outlines three tiers of maturity, with strategies to address common pitfalls such as dashboard sprawl, lack of version control, and inefficient navigation. For higher maturity, Kaltschmidt recommended using templated variables, hierarchical dashboards, and scripting libraries to ensure consistency and ease of use. He also stressed the importance of expressive dashboards that use color and normalization to quickly convey system states, aiming to reduce cognitive load and improve troubleshooting efficiency. Future developments for Grafana include enhancing the provisioning workflow and introducing an in-browser JSON editor to streamline dashboard management.
