Visualization – Bringing Network Observability to Life
In the previous chapter, we delved into the foundational aspects of data storage using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana Loki to handle time series information such as metrics and logs. So far, we’ve covered how to collect, store, and query data in preparation for using observability data.
As we shift our focus to visualization, we’ll not only transition from using data storage to graphically represent data but also emphasize the importance of dashboards. There are several options, but Grafana is an excellent tool in this space as it can transform complex datasets into clear, intuitive visual narratives. This chapter is dedicated to leveraging Grafana to breathe life into your data (most of the concepts can be reused for other tools), turning it into actionable insights for decision-making.
Dashboards are at the heart of this transformation. They are not merely tools for data presentation but vital...
