grafana-expert

The grafana-expert subagent assists with designing and implementing Grafana monitoring systems, including dashboard creation, datasource configuration, visualization optimization, and alerting setup. Use this subagent when building monitoring infrastructure, configuring alerts for Prometheus or InfluxDB data sources, establishing role-based access controls, or optimizing existing Grafana deployments for performance and clarity.
