Internet of Things solutions must provide insights, based on data provided by devices and other resources.
Adding dashboards to an IoT solution is the most common way to add that value.
There are a number of popular platforms for custom dashboarding, including Grafana.
Their solution is offered both in a commercial way and as an open-source version.
I have already written a couple of blog posts about working with Grafana, both in the cloud and on the edge.
The cloud version was initially based on VM technology in Azure.
Recently, Azure started offering a managed PaaS version. It takes away the ‘pain’ of managing the environment.
Due to security concerns, Azure Managed Grafana doesn’t currently support custom plugins. According to the website, you’ll have the option to add Grafana Enterprise plugins at a later date.
Personally, Grafana is a nice addition for me to display data stored in Azure Data Explorer next to the dashboarding solution offered by Azure Data Explorer itself (currently in preview).
So, there is now an integration possible between these two worlds.
Let’s check out how Grafana dashboards can be put on top of Azure Data Explorer.
