Grafana Dashboards

This one handles Grafana dashboard creation with solid opinionated structure. You get ready-to-use JSON snippets for common patterns (API monitoring, infrastructure, databases), plus guidance on the RED and USE methods so you're not starting from scratch. It covers variables, alerting, and provisioning through Terraform or Ansible. The templating examples are concrete enough to copy and adapt. Best suited when you're building observability dashboards and want established patterns rather than reinventing panel layouts. The dashboard-as-code approach is helpful if you're managing multiple environments.
