Show HN: Grafana TUI – Browse Grafana dashboards in the terminal

#1

Post by lmazgon »

I built a terminal UI for browsing Grafana dashboards. It connects to any Grafana instance and lets you explore dashboards without leaving the terminal.

It renders the most common panel types (time series, bar charts, gauges, heatmaps etc.). You can change the time range, set dashboard variables and filter series.

I built this because I spend most of my day in the terminal and wanted a quick way to glance at dashboards without switching to the browser. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a nifty and useful tool.

Built with Go, Bubble Tea, ntcharts, and Claude (of course). You can install it via Homebrew:

    brew install lovromazgon/tap/grafana-tui
... and try it out against Grafana's public playground:

    grafana-tui --url https://play.grafana.org

It should handle the templating variables, at least from what I've tested on our dashboards. It gives you a list of available options just like in the Grafana UI. Try it out, once you select a dashboard you can press `v` and set the vars.

If you're using Grafana for monitoring, you might also want to get those alerts as actual phone calls on iOS — Echobell (https://echobell.one) takes your Grafana webhook and turns it into a push notification or even a phone call that bypasses silent mode.
