Grafana Platform Usecase Evaluation

#1

Hey everyone!

I’m considering implementing Grafana to following scenario.

  • We want to fetch data about our repos from the GitHub organisation those repos are in
  • Store that data using some data lake like Amazon let’s say
  • Make some custom calculations on the numerical data we fetched
  • Visualise that

My core question is: Will I be able to make calculations on our data using Grafana or we need to use another platform for that part before visualising it with Grafana?

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Calculation in the Grafana is not a good idea. Calculation should be made by used time series database, not by Grafana. Grafana only visualizes results returned from TSDB.

Thanks a lot @jangaraj!
