This post covers creating a dashboard in Grafana and displaying data from Log Analytics.  My previous post covered connecting a Grafana installation to a Log Analytics workspace.  That post can be found here.  The examples below are intended to give the reader an overview of options to help get started with Grafana.

In this post I demonstrate how to connect Grafana to Azure Log Analytics using the Azure Monitor data source plugin. Grafana is an open source, data visualization and monitoring platform.  Or, as the website states “The open platform for beautiful analytics and monitoring”.  Grafana can run on Windows, Linux, ARM, as well as Docker.  There is a hosted option for those who prefer to have someone else host the environment.
