Guide to Grafana 101: Getting Started With (Awesome) Visualizations

You'll get a quick Grafana walkthrough, then dive straight into building dashboards for three scenarios: monitoring production apps w/ #Prometheus, tracking IoT device location, and analyzing public datasets - like the spread of COVID-19.

By the end, you'll know how to create 6+ visualizations (from gauges to World Maps) – and use pro tips to see data trends over time, set thresholds to track key metrics, and more.

Really awesome tutorial. Grafana's just one piece of a HUGE project that my team is working on but this was a major help in getting started.

Thanks for the video, how did you setup the public data source with API url end point and dealing with the common challenges or errors of getting the data passed into grafana?

Hi, very nice video, however i´m struggeling to get the variable to work, i have some customers in a table (Mysql) wich displays nicely in the variables setting and the panel with the simple query in variables..: SELECT CUSTOMERS
FROM SENSOR_DATA, and the variable name CUSTOMER, how can i in the WHERE clause, make grafana understand to switch between customers?
Best regards /A ....Ps -keep up the good work with the videos :-)

The Chart at the end seems a little misleading. Hope that gets corrected via a post edit. Thanks.

I am using grafana v7.1.5 but I don't have options of grafana that you are using. That means after adding panel I am not getting option as "choose visualization".
