How to create an ideal Grafana dashboard for science and engineering

Christopher Field and Mikhail Volkov detail their journey to creating an innovative Grafana dashboard, which has become a finalist in the Grafana Golden Grot Awards for its significant impact on scientific and engineering experiments. The dashboard, developed through a collaboration between Theia Scientific, LLC and Volkov Labs, utilizes AI and machine learning to automate image analysis and data quantitation, providing real-time observability of experiments. It integrates multiple data sources and plugins, offering customizable visualizations and interactive panels, such as an Acquisition panel for controlling image sources and a Vision panel for viewing AI analysis results. This setup allows scientists and engineers to optimize their experimental parameters and immediately see the effects, enhancing their ability to conduct experiments and analyze data efficiently. The dashboard's success is attributed to its adaptability and the use of Grafana's ecosystem, and there are plans to further develop its capabilities by incorporating dynamic dashboards and additional observability features to support the evolving needs of scientific research.
