Hi team As some of you have been tracking, we(Kai and I) are building PromQL support[1] in SkyWalking. The purpose of creating this support is 1. Grafana users to set up UI on their own 2. Adopt/integrate PromQL-supported platforms for alerting, AIOps, visualization, etc.
Right now, we can share that, we are very optimistic about providing this in the 9.4.0 release soon as the first MVP version. By that, I want to open this discussion about whether we should build a new showcase repository for the Grafana dashboard configurations we built on top of these PromQL APIs. The purposes of this repository are 1. Demonstrate how to use various types of SkyWalking metrics on Grafana 2. Separate any of these setups from official releases, including OAP and UI 3. These dashboards are not SkyWalking showcases, as we will never be able to release those dashboard JSON(s). These JSONs are written by us, we own the IP, but, they require Grafana in the runtime, which is licensed in AGPL. We need to be clear in a separate repository, this repository is only for Grafana end-user convenience. SkyWalking full stack is running out of Grafana dependencies. ## Repository Description SkyWalking Grafana Showcase is an extension of SkyWalking showcase, to provide additional dashboard settings with demo Grafana deployments for end-user convenience. <Notice, we would copy the skywalking-showcase in this repository for re-use> The PromQL feature should be ready in two weeks, so, if you have any concerns about the license or any suggestions, please comment here.
