The second issue of the timeShift newsletter, authored by Trent White, highlights the enthusiastic reception of its inaugural edition, expressing gratitude for the positive feedback received. This edition features a variety of articles focusing on different applications of Grafana, including monitoring MariaDB servers with Prometheus and Grafana, container metrics with Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana, and the utilization of the Hawkular OpenShift Agent for monitoring microservices on OpenShift. Additionally, it discusses the integration of Ambari Metrics with Grafana for Apache NiFi monitoring, as well as the visualization of Domoticz data using Grafana and InfluxDB. The newsletter also showcases an early beta of a container-based Grafana and Graphite dashboard for SolidFire. In the plugins and dashboards section, it celebrates over 100,000 plugin installations since the launch of Grafana v3's pluggable architecture and highlights recent plugin updates, including the SimpleJson, NetXMS, GoogleCalendar, Discrete Panel, Alarm Box, and Status Dot plugins. The newsletter concludes by recognizing Mitsuhiro Tanda as the Most Valuable Contributor for his extensive contributions to the Grafana community, while also inviting feedback from readers to improve future issues.
