Grafana & Friends Virtual brings the community together, wherever you are. It’s an event for you, by you: all talks come from community members sharing their projects, experiences and lessons learnt.
The talks span all levels, so whether you're just starting or you're a Grafana veteran, you'll find something for yourself on the agenda.
Talk 1: Building Fantasy Premier League Dashboards with Grafana Assistant by Emmanuel Okororie
I spend more time than I’d like to admit obsessing over my Fantasy Premier League team, and every gameweek I’m jumping between stats pages and spreadsheets just to pick a captain.
In this session, I’ll show you how I connected the live Fantasy Premier League JSON API to Grafana using the Infinity data source — including the small but important trick of adding a custom User-Agent header to get past the API’s anti-scraper defenses. Once the data is flowing, I’ll use Grafana Assistant to build panels and dashboards from plain-English prompts, so you can see how the same workflow applies to any REST API you care about.
Talk 2: What Happens When AI Gets Access to Your Grafana? by Rashi Dashore
What happens when an AI agent gets access to your observability stack? Explore how AI agents can interact with Grafana, and Prometheus to investigate system behaviour and uncover potential issues. We'll look at how Sandboxes and Grafana MCP make these interactions more controlled and secure.
Talk 3: work in progress
Our speakers:
- Rashi Dashore, Software Engineer at Rakuten
- Emmanuel Okororie, DevOps Engineer at Interswitch Group
- Carike Blignaut-Staden, Grafana Champion and DevOps Engineer at OUTsurance
