hubot-grafana

We 🧡 the combination of Grafana, Hubot & Slack. We use it all the time to visualize dashboards in Slack. But the interaction with certain dashboards might not be as fast as one expect from a chat bot, so let’s see what we can do.

At Wehkamp, we use the Hubot Grafana project to make our Grafana dashboard available in Slack. It mainly helps our standby team to make quick assessments on what’s going on with our website. Last year, we saw we could not upgrade the package from 2.5.2 to 3.0.1, because slugs could not be used anymore. But we use slugs and… quite heavily! So we did not upgrade our Grafana v7… until we got hit by the input field bug. We decided to see what we could do to bring our slug feature back to our ChatOps bot!
