Grafana Skill

Read current values from any Grafana dashboard without writing queries. The plugin navigates by dashboard and panel name, extracts the panel's existing query configuration, and returns a compact summary — no PromQL, SQL, or datasource knowledge required.

Works with any Grafana datasource (Prometheus, InfluxDB, MySQL, …).

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

Asked about a value that's visible in a Grafana dashboard
Listing what dashboards or panels are available
Retrieving the current or recent value of a metric by panel name

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

Writing, modifying, or creating dashboards → use Grafana UI
Admin operations (users, datasource config, alerts) → use Grafana API directly
You need to run an arbitrary query not backed by an existing panel

Setup

Add to your openclaw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "rpe-grafana": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "url": "http://your-grafana:3000",
          "user": "your-username",
          "password": "your-password"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Or set environment variables:

GRAFANA_URL - Grafana base URL
GRAFANA_USER - Username
GRAFANA_PASSWORD - Password or API key
