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

Hi, I used Grafana in my last company and absolutely loved it. How do I convince my current company to get the hell off Datadog?

Haha, my team is going the opposite direction: we're leaving prometheus + grafana to datadog, and we're loving it. having every AWS monitoring default dashboard work right out of the bat is a bliss..

Why did they move away from Grafana?

I'd suggest they got a director/manager who was BSed into "fascinating" presentation from Datadog salesmen. A lot of great opensource projects are killed pretty much the same way. Disclaimer: datadog may (or may not) be a good product, it's irrelevant in the case.

Datadog is a great product that's likely to have been pushed by the developers or the ops team.

Grafana has equally "fascinating" presentations for management. Management doesn't take much but a few gauges chart to be impressed.

How about don't? Datadog offers everything that grafana does plus alerting, as well as more and better integrations (databases, AWS, middleware, etc...).

Anyone remembers the old grafana? Just few htmls and css/js, upload to static web server and bam! you got a dashboard!

How about adding support for configuring Grafana with files?

This would allow us to deploy immutable Grafana instances using infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Docker. Specifically, I want a way to eliminate post-install steps such as adding users and organizations and setting user passwords.

Do you plan to make debug logging useful? I had difficulty troubleshooting Grafana & InfluxDB auth problems and found that debug logging did not provide any extra detail.

Will Grafana ever add direct support for rrd datasources?

Does this help? https://github.com/doublemarket/grafana-rrd-server

Kinda, but not really.

It has no support for rrdcached flush, AVERAGE CF is hardcoded , and I cannot seem to get it to not connect lines through gaps where there were no measurements.

Example not related to rrd, but same problem different db: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/2125.

Thanks for adding more support for logs in Grafana.

I'm not using AWS CloudWatch Logs because of the financial risk of a runaway server running up a huge AWS bill. I had difficulty getting log display and log search working well in Grafana 6.6.2 and InfluxDB. Do you plan to improve log support for other databases?
