Participants rebuild a messy folder of Grafana dashboards into a three-tier structure: landing views for triage, drill paths for suspected subsystems, and deep dives that stay rare. You practice writing panel descriptions that read well at 03:00 and learn how to retire charts without breaking muscle memory for veterans.
What is included
- Critique sessions on anonymized before/after dashboard sets
- Templates for incident folders versus evergreen service health
- Color and scale conventions that survive projector fatigue
- Exercises linking logs and metrics entry points without clutter
- Guidance on snapshotting useful ranges during incidents
- Short module on accessibility for text and contrast in dark rooms
- Final review with a timed mock incident navigation drill
Outcomes
- You can justify every row on a landing dashboard in one sentence each.
- You ship a folder structure peers agree to adopt for one quarter.
- You document a retirement plan for at least three legacy panels.

Participant questions
Labs use Grafana because it is common in the field. Concepts map to other tools; bring screenshots from your stack for async feedback.

“Our on-call channel stopped screenshotting random panels because the landing triage view finally agreed with reality.”
