Name: Grafana & Friends France : édition de novembre chez Elaia
Start: 2025-11-27T17:00:00.000Z
Location: Elaia

This Loki Community Call is about deploying Loki on Kubernetes via Helm charts. We talk about why you might want to use Helm to deploy on Kubernetes, best practices for deployment, and which Helm chart you should use! We are Jay Clifford and Nicole van der Hoeven, Developer Advocates at Grafana Labs, and we have invited Grafana Champion and Loki Helm Maintainer Jan-Otto Kröpke, Principal Cloud Architect at QualityOperations GmbH, to talk about the state of the Loki Helm Chart.

This event will be livestreamed on YouTube and published on the same link after the fact: https://youtube.com/live/ZqumpIXutXg

Join the Grafana & Friends Delhi group for our November 2025 meetup, as we gear up to host our next Happy Hour in Delhi NCR! :tada:
We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Reskilll, bringing together observability enthusiasts, DevOps professionals, and developers for an evening of insights, networking, and learning.

📅 : **01 November 2025**

Visualize Delhi: Grafana Meetup

Speaker 1-[Tauqeer Ahmad](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tauqeerahmad5201/), DevOps SRE Engineer at NCR Atleos

* **Title** -Exploring MCP Grafana with GitHub Copilot
**Description** \- This project explores how the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** can extend **Grafana’s observability capabilities** by enabling intelligent, context-aware analysis of metrics, dashboards, and alerts. By integrating **GitHub Copilot** as a code generation and guidance assistant, developers can rapidly build, configure, and query MCP-based extensions for Grafana. The integration streamlines the creation of custom connectors, automation of dashboard interactions, and generation of natural language insights from time-series data. This exploration demonstrates how combining **AI-assisted development (Copilot)** with **context-driven observability (MCP)** can enhance operational intelligence, accelerate troubleshooting, and improve DevOps productivity.

Speaker 2- [Umesh Pawar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iumeshpawar/), Senior Cloud Engineer at Searce Inc

* **Title** \- Generative AI at Grafana labs
**Description** \- Explores the integration of **Generative AI** technologies within **Grafana Labs’ observability ecosystem** to enhance the way users interact with metrics, logs, and traces. By leveraging large language models (LLMs), Grafana Labs aims to transform traditional dashboard-driven monitoring into an **intelligent, conversational observability experience**. Generative AI assists users in natural language query generation, anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and alert summarization, thereby reducing cognitive load and accelerating troubleshooting..

Speaker 3- [ Kumbhaj Shukla](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kumbhaj/) – Software Engineer, Paytm

* **Title** \- Modern Industry Observability: Standards\, Strategies and Sucess Stories\.
**Description -** Explores **strategic approaches** to designing scalable observability architectures and the **success stories** of enterprises that have achieved improved reliability, performance optimization, and faster incident resolution through observability-driven culture. By aligning technology, processes, and people, modern observability is redefining operational excellence in cloud-native environments.

Grafana & Friends Delhi Meetup November’25

Microsoft India Pvt Ltd

The Grafana & Friends Madrid meetup is back for a fall session at **[Celonis](https://www.celonis.com/)**.

**👉 Here's a sneak peek of the agenda:**

**18:30:** Check-in and welcome 👋

**18:45:** 🎙️ "**Getting Started (and Getting Better) with Alerting in Grafana**", [Antonio Calero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonio-cm/) \- Developer Advocate at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com)
Alerts are the heartbeat of any monitoring setup; they let you know when something needs your attention before your users do. In this session, we’ll start with the basics of creating alerts in Grafana and walk through how they work, step by step. We’ll also cover some practical tips for those already using alerting, including how to avoid common pitfalls, keep noise under control, and ensure your alerts are actually actionable. Whether you’re new to Grafana or looking to level up your existing alerting setup, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of how to get the most out of alerts.
**19:15:** 🎙️ **“OpenTelemetry developments in Prometheus over the last year”** by [Juraj Michalek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jurajmichalek/) \- Senior solution architect at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com)
Since last year's PromCon, there have been numerous improvements to Prometheus' OpenTelemetry support, more specifically, its OTLP receiver. Among them:

* Converting OpenTelemetry metric metadata to Prometheus equivalent
* Support for keeping identifying attributes in the target_info metric
* Primitive support for ingesting OpenTelemetry delta temporality metrics without converting to cumulative
* Support for ingesting OpenTelemetry metrics without translating metric or attribute names
* Support for translating OpenTelemetry explicit bucket histograms into native histograms with custom buckets
* Promote OpenTelemetry scope metadata to metric labels

**20:00 - 21:00:** Networking, Snacks, and Drinks 🍻🍕

📍**Location:**
**[Celonis](https://www.celonis.com/)**: Pl\. de Manuel Gómez\-Moreno\, 2 Madrid \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/tSeuMHXwwvaTC9VH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tSeuMHXwwvaTC9VH9)

It would be super cool to see you there! 👋

Lightning Talk abstracts:
**Transforming Nuclear Materials Research: Harnessing Machine Learning and Grafana for the Next Nuclear Era**
Dr. Christopher Field is Co-Founder, President, and Principal Investigator at Theia Scientific.
*Next-generation nuclear fission and fusion reactors are poised to sustainably meet escalating energy demands with zero carbon emissions, driving a renaissance in nuclear technology. This revival is evidenced by recent collaborations between cloud providers, AI companies, and nuclear energy firms, focusing on small modular reactors (SMRs) and fusion technologies. However, the path forward requires overcoming significant material science challenges to endure extreme reactor conditions and boost efficiency. Traditionally, nuclear materials research has been hampered by slow, manual processes. In this presentation, Theia Scientific will share their experience and excitement transforming materials research and testing workflows with a novel combination of Machine Learning, computer vision, and the Grafana platform with custom and community plugins and data sources that leverages GPU-enabled systems both at the edge and in the Cloud, for a truly unique, multi-scale deployment. Join us to learn about scaling observability from individual atoms to nuclear reactors. We will showcase the award-winning, interactive user experience that significantly accelerates scientific discovery, paving the way for nuclear energy to literally power Grafana-based applications, Cloud infrastructure, and AI systems.*
