Observability as Code

Observability as Code lets you apply code management best practices to your observability resources. Using Observability as Code, you can version, automate, and scale Grafana configurations, including dashboards and observability workflows. By representing Grafana resources as code, you can integrate them into existing infrastructure-as-code workflows and apply standard development practices.

Observability as Code provides more control over configuration. Instead of manually configuring dashboards or settings through the Grafana UI, you can:

• Write configurations in code: Define dashboards in JSON or other supported formats.
• Sync your Grafana setup to GitHub: Track changes, collaborate, and roll back updates using Git and GitHub, or other remote sources.
• Automate with CI/CD: Integrate Grafana directly into your development and deployment pipelines.
• Standardize workflows: Ensure consistency across your teams by using repeatable, codified processes for managing Grafana resources.
