Exploring Powerful Power BI Dashboards for Smarter Decision-Making

Operational dashboards help teams answer urgent business questions quickly. They show whether production is on track, inventory is healthy, downtime is rising, or resources are being stretched too thin. This article explores practical Power BI dashboard examples for operational efficiency across production, supply chain management, resource planning, and performance measurement. It also explains how to build dashboards that support real decisions rather than simply displaying data.

Zero to Dashboard with Grafana Assistant and the Infinity datasource plugin

Senior Developer Advocate Nicole van der Hoeven demonstrates how to go from zero to dashboard in a few minutes without using any queries, with the help of Grafana Assistant and the infinity datasource plugin for Grafana.

Generate test scripts from natural language with Grafana Assistant: introducing k6 Script Authoring

Performance testing is critical to ensure your applications stay reliable under load, but writing the scripts themselves often feels like a chore. Most engineers already know the scenario they want to test; the hard part is translating that intent into a working performance test. Even experienced developers who use k6 can lose time looking up syntax, configuring load stages and thresholds, or debugging boilerplate code before they can run a meaningful test.

Inside the Grafana AI Team Weekly: Workspaces and Investigations (April 28, 2026)

This is an excerpt from a real AI team weekly meeting where we talk about the stuff we build and occasionally also demo them! In this one, Staff Product Design Engineer Ben Darlow demos improvements to Workspace Home. Staff Software Engineer Sonia Aguilar and Principal Software Engineer Sven Großmann also demo a new dependency graph view for Investigations. We're showing parts of our team meetings to build in public in some small way and give you a sneak preview of what's to come. But not all features we show may make it to production! You've been warned. :)

Web API: your complete guide for custom integrations

Data is almost always scattered across too many tools. Usually, if you want to see it all in one place, you're stuck building messy pipelines or paying for a warehouse you don't really want. SquaredUp is a window into all those tools. It lets you see what’s happening across your entire stack in real time without moving any of the data. Think of it as a universal translator that lets your tools talk to each other so you can stop the manual digging and just see the big picture.

How to embed Grafana dashboards into web applications

Note: This post originally published in October 2023 and was updated in May 2026 to include new methods and options for embedding Grafana dashboards. Grafana dashboards are powerful and flexible tools for observing applications and infrastructure, so it’s no surprise we get a lot of questions from the community about how to embed them into their web applications.

Getting started with Checkly dashboards

Checkly is a modern reliability platform that combines testing, monitoring and observability in one place. Its integration with Playwright and languages such as TypeScript means that developers can write tests using tools they are familiar with and then run them in Checkly. Its Monitoring as Code philosophy also means that Checkly tests can be incorporated into CI/CD pipelines.

Why Some Roles Care About Open Source & Why Others Don't: 4th Annual Observability Survey | Grafana

Note: We're happy to share that since the recording of this video, OpenTelemetry *has* graduated from the CNCF! SREs, developers, and CTOs say open source is essential to observability. Engineering managers and directors? Not so much. Grafana's 4th annual observability survey — 1,363 responses — reveals a split inside the same orgs that's worth a conversation.
