Hey everyone,
We’ve been hearing a recurring request from our users: “I need to send a summary of my dashboards to people who will never log into Grafana.”
We’re exploring to build a feature called Digest that would:
- Connect to a Grafana instance via the API
- Pull panel data and render snapshots from selected dashboards
- Generate an AI-written executive summary (plain English, not metrics jargon)
- Flag anomalies and include trend analysis
- Deliver the whole thing as a formatted email on a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly)
The target audience is the engineering manager, VP, or client who needs to know “is everything healthy?” without learning PromQL or navigating dashboards.
Here’s an early sneak peak of how’d it look like
Before we commit to building this further, I wanted to ask the community:
- Is this a problem you actually face? Do non-technical people in your org need dashboard data?
- How do you handle it today? Manual emails? Grafana’s built-in report feature? Something else?
- What data would you want in a digest vs. what would be noise?
- Would you trust an AI-generated summary, or would you want to review it before it sends?
Any feedback is appreciated. Happy to answer questions about the approach.
