AI agents for Grafana
A Monmo agent works in Grafana the way a site reliability engineer starting their shift would. It reads the dashboards and tells you what looks wrong, investigates a firing alert by querying your data sources, proposes calmer thresholds for noisy rules and drafts new dashboards. It uses the service account you connect, and asks before it saves a dashboard, edits a rule or adds a silence.

What agents do in Grafana
Read the morning dashboards
Every weekday at 8:30 the agent opens the service overview dashboards, compares each panel with the same hour last week and tells you which ones are out of their normal range and by how much.
AskEvery weekday at 8:30, check the Production overview dashboard and tell me which panels look unusual.
Investigate a firing alert
When an alert fires, it runs PromQL and LogQL queries against your Prometheus and Loki data sources around that moment, checks recent deploys in GitHub and writes up what it found before you open a laptop.
AskWhen the HighErrorRate alert fires, query the metrics and logs for that service and write up the likely cause.
Calm down noisy alert rules
It counts how often each rule fired in the last 30 days, how many firings resolved on their own within minutes, and proposes a new threshold or pending period for the worst offenders. Editing a rule asks first.
AskWhich of our Grafana alert rules fired most last month without anyone acting? Propose calmer settings.
Silence alerts for planned work
Before a database upgrade on Saturday at 22:00, it prepares a silence that matches only the affected labels and expires when the work should end, and adds it once you allow the card.
AskWe upgrade the main database Saturday 22:00 to 23:30. Prepare a silence for its alerts only.
Draft a new dashboard
Describe what you want to watch, such as checkout latency by region, and it writes the queries, picks the panel types and builds the dashboard JSON. Saving it to a folder waits for you.
AskBuild a dashboard for checkout: p95 latency by region, error rate and orders per minute. Show it before saving.
Mark deploys on the graphs
When a release ships in GitHub, it prepares an annotation with the version and a link on the dashboards for that service, so a jump in a graph lines up with the change that caused it.
AskEach time we publish a GitHub release for api, add an annotation to the API dashboards. Batch them for my approval.
Write the weekly reliability note
Every Friday it pulls the week's availability, latency and alert counts from the dashboards you name and writes a one-page note in Google Docs, with the panels that tell the story.
AskEvery Friday at 4, write the reliability note for the week from the SLO dashboards, in a Google Doc.
How it connects
- 1You create a service account in Grafana, on Grafana Cloud or your own server, give it the Viewer or Editor role and connect its token once. On a self-hosted instance the agent can reach only what is reachable from the internet.
- 2Grafana belongs with your engineering agent, and with an operations agent that writes the weekly reliability note. Give Editor only to the agent that maintains dashboards.
- 3Reading dashboards, running queries and reading alert history need no approval. Saving or deleting a dashboard, editing an alert rule or contact point, adding a silence and creating an annotation each ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent read Grafana dashboards and explain them?
Yes. A Monmo agent opens the dashboards you name, reads each panel and the queries behind it, and tells you in plain words what is out of range, since when and compared with what. It can do this on a schedule and send you only the panels worth a look.
Can it create or change Grafana alert rules?
It drafts them and saves them when you approve. The AI agent writes the query, the threshold, the pending period and the labels, explains how often the rule would have fired last month, and shows the change on a card. It saves through the Grafana connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something.
Will it look into an alert in the middle of the night?
It can start the moment an alert reaches a connected app, such as a message in a Slack channel or an email. By the time someone on call opens it, there is a write-up with the queries and graphs it checked. Waking a person is still a job for your paging tool, such as PagerDuty.
Does it work with self-hosted Grafana?
Yes, if the instance can be reached from the agent's computer, which runs in the cloud. A Grafana behind a VPN or available only on your office network is out of its reach. Grafana Cloud works with a service account token like any other instance.
