Summary

SevOne, a company specializing in network monitoring, has integrated Grafana into its operations to enhance the visualization of high-frequency telemetry data. Initially adopting Grafana for self-monitoring due to a lack of frontend engineers, SevOne discovered its potential for live streaming data sources, a feature not explicitly documented but achievable by wrapping data in an RxJS observable object. This approach allows them to bypass core changes in Grafana and manage extensive data points, catering to high-demand environments like IoT and emergency services. However, challenges such as infinite data loading, browser performance issues, and complex user experience persist, prompting the team to seek improvements. Despite these hurdles, SevOne remains committed to refining this functionality, with potential applications in various high-data scenarios.
