Grafana
Purpose
Operational dashboards and observability visualization
Decision Summary
Production Ready as CSI's standard observability visualization and alerting interface. Authentication, data-source credentials, plugins and database backups require governance.
Backup Strategy
Back up the Grafana database, configuration, provisioning files, plugin list and external secrets. Export critical dashboards as code/JSON.
Recovery Strategy
Deploy the same supported version, restore database/configuration and plugins, reconnect data sources, then validate dashboards and alert routes.
