GrafanaSight Overview
GrafanaSight turns Confluence into a practical observability workspace for teams that already use Grafana Cloud. Instead of asking people to leave a runbook to inspect a dashboard, GrafanaSight can show panel snapshots, dashboard catalog context, active alert health, annotations, and refresh controls directly on Confluence pages.
Who Uses It
Section titled “Who Uses It”- Space admins who connect a Confluence space to a Grafana Cloud instance.
- SRE, platform, DevOps, and product engineering teams who maintain operational runbooks.
- Incident responders who need current dashboard and alert context near investigation notes.
- Engineering leaders who want a light operational view without asking every reader to use Grafana.
What GrafanaSight Adds To Confluence
Section titled “What GrafanaSight Adds To Confluence”- A space-level Grafana connection using a Grafana Cloud URL and service account token.
- A dashboard library for browsing folders, tags, dashboards, panels, and alert context.
- Panel and dashboard macros that can be inserted from supported Grafana URLs.
- Detailed and compact macro styles for pages with different density needs.
- Relative and absolute time range controls for panel snapshots.
- Page byline controls that summarize Grafana health and refresh GrafanaSight macros.
- Alert, status badge, and annotation macros for runbooks and incident records.
- A global page for configured-space navigation across Confluence.
- A Rovo Specialist that answers from cached GrafanaSight data and calls out freshness.
Verified Example
Section titled “Verified Example”This documentation was verified against a Grafana Cloud Supabase dashboard. The connected dashboard contained CPU, load, memory, swap, disk, core count, and uptime panels, plus active QA alert rules. The screenshots show the same Supabase source in Grafana and inside GrafanaSight.
How It Stays Fast
Section titled “How It Stays Fast”GrafanaSight keeps a space-level cache of dashboard catalog data, dashboard detail, panels, alerts, and annotations. The cache supports quick Confluence rendering and lets the Rovo Specialist answer from app-held context instead of making every question a live Grafana request.
When live panel rendering is available, GrafanaSight requests a Grafana render image. When live rendering is unavailable but a recent cached image exists, the macro can show the cached snapshot with stale context instead of leaving a blank runbook.
