Hi, my name is Torkel Ödegaard. Grafana project creator & lead. Here to answer any questions.

Thanks for leading the Grafana project! As a color blind user, I find it difficult to read the dashboards created by others. How can I help any efforts to increase Grafana's accessibility?

I'm also colorblind and a heavy Grafana user but I haven't had much difficulty reading dashboards. What are you having trouble with? The most trouble I've had is colors of multiple lines on a chart being too similar but being able to use the mouse to select a line and see what the line is and its value helps there.

Custom Themes seems to be one of the most wanted features of the Community. Is there any plan implementing it in the near future?

Recently I digged into the source code to find out how easy it is to create my own custom theme. Unfortunately I found the dark and light theme variables hard coded all over the place. :(

Upvote: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/18041 and add any additional comments and context there. In addition to making the light/dark themes more accessible, I think we should add an additional high contrast one.

Hi Torkel, First off, Grafana is amazing! So keep up the good work. Question: Currently alerts are fairly limited both in applicable panels and how they export/share relevant data to the chosen notification channel, as well as more advanced conditions. Is there any work going on with improving alerts?

Also to mention frequently asked feature: alerts using queries and templated variables [1][2]. Creating even simple generic dashboards with alerts is not possible, unless variables are hardcoded in hidden queries.

At work we have to compile everything from source because compliance, and Grafana is one of the harder ones to get right. There used to be good documentation for it a few versions back but I can't seem to find it lately. Is there any good documentation on how to get Grafana compiled from source?

Are we any closer to having some kind of anomaly detection in grafana (when using prometheus)?

Just curious: what kind of anomaly detection are you looking for? Can you describe the kind of thing you'd want this system to detect?

Do you know if performance has improved for large dashboards?

since when? :) A few things have been added that may help: 1. only visible data is queried and loaded 2. If you have multiple panels that use the same data, you can now just reuse the results (or a subset of the results) in a new panel. This will cut down on additional queries that may not be necessary

i see you still have plans to continue with uPlot testing :)
