What is Grafana Readonly?
The Grafana Readonly skill serves as a specialized entrypoint for analytics work within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, focusing entirely on data retrieval and inspection. It allows AI agents to interact with Grafana instances to find dashboards, list panels, and understand the underlying logic of metrics without the permission to create, modify, or delete any resources.
This skill is particularly valuable for teams that need to maintain strict dashboard governance while still leveraging the power of Openclaw Skills for automated reporting and technical auditing. By providing a structured way to inspect queries and variables, it ensures that data-driven answers are based on the actual logic implemented in your production observability stack.
Grafana Readonly Use Cases
- Locating specific business metrics or KPIs across dozens of different dashboards.
- Auditing metric definitions by extracting and reviewing the underlying SQL or PromQL queries.
- Rerunning existing visualization queries with modified time ranges or variable sets to answer ad-hoc questions.
- Identifying which datasource or table is backing a specific panel to verify data lineage.
How Grafana Readonly Works
- The agent searches the Grafana instance to locate the relevant dashboard based on user intent.
- It inspects the dashboard structure to identify panels, variables, and current settings.
- The skill extracts the specific panel query and configuration to understand how the metric is calculated.
- If requested, it reruns the existing panel query using new parameters such as time ranges or filters.
- The agent synthesizes the retrieved data to provide a technical answer within the Openclaw Skills environment.
