Grafana in your business overview – not as a technical dashboard without operational context.
Connecting Grafana – Customized and Seamless
Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring, visualization, and alerting – widely used for displaying metrics from databases, cloud services, applications, and infrastructure. Companies leverage Grafana to visualize technical and operational metrics in real-time, monitor thresholds, and automatically alert on anomalies. For operationally complex companies, Grafana is relevant because operational metrics – system utilization, process cycle times, error rates – should not end up in a technical dashboard, but rather serve as control parameters integrated into the operational system. We integrate Grafana into custom enterprise software. No pre-built standard connection, no limited plug-in – but a tailored integration that fits precisely with your processes and your system.
What We Connect
| Integration Option | |
|---|---|
| 🔄 | Automatically visualize operational metrics from the Operating System in Grafana dashboards |
| 📊 | Transfer Grafana alerts and threshold breaches to the central system |
| 📄 | Automatically generate dashboard snapshots and reports and assign them to processes |
| ⚡ | Event-driven workflows – e.g., automatically create incidents on alert, notify responsible parties on anomalies |
| 🔗 | End-to-end connection to databases, cloud services, Prometheus, InfluxDB, and other data sources |
How the Integration Works
We work directly with the Grafana HTTP API – dashboards, alerts, annotations, data sources, and provisioning. The integration is developed as an integral part of your Operating System – no third-party middleware, no workaround. What this means in practice:
| 🏗️ | Customized integration – built for your processes, not for the average |
| 🔄 | Automatic data flow – metrics and alerts flow bidirectionally between the system and Grafana |
| 🗄️ | One data foundation – monitoring data is part of your central operational picture |
| 🛡️ | Secure and GDPR-compliant – self-hostable, role-based, and documented |
Typical Use Case
A service company with 70 employees uses Grafana for system metrics – CPU utilization, response times, error rates. However, operational metrics – order intake, cycle times, SLA compliance – are tracked separately in Excel. When a system slows down, impacting customer processes, the connection to operational impact is missing.
Through the integration, technical and operational metrics are consolidated in Grafana. The Operating System feeds in business metrics – alongside the technical metrics. Alerts are operationally contextualized: does the slowdown affect order intake or just an internal tool? Grafana alerts automatically create incidents in the Operating System with context and responsibility. Management sees technical health and operational performance in a single view.
Part of Your Operating System
Grafana is one of the most versatile monitoring platforms – flexible, open-source, and with a huge ecosystem of data sources. But when used in isolation, it remains a technical dashboard without business context. Only as part of an integrated system does Grafana unleash its full potential – when operational metrics stand alongside technical metrics, alerts trigger business processes, and monitoring evolves from an IT concern to a control instrument. We develop AI-powered Operating Systems for operationally complex companies. The Grafana integration is one building block of this.
