Whether you are just starting your journey as a DevOps Engineer or already an expert SRE, you need to use Git (e.g. GitHub, GtlLab) to maintain your code and track issues, PRs, commits, etc. You start with a few repositories but then it becomes difficult to get visibility into what's going on in a complex app when it's scattered across 20 different GitHub repos.

In this talk, we will demonstrate an example of how to monitor your GitHub repo using the GitHub Data source plugin that allows you to represent data e.g. open/close issues, Pull n Merge requests, and other various statuses visually in Grafana dashboards and gives a dynamic and interactive view to monitoring for a more adaptable and user-centric dashboard experience either for your personal projects or for the entire team. Later, we see more advanced features to get better observability.

It will be an introduction to the Grafana Dashboards, and also an excellent opportunity to learn more about utilizing advanced visualization options to effectively represent complex data.

Join us to learn more about Grafana dashboards, community contributions and share your feedback and suggestions!
