Grafana Assistant

What is it?

An AI-powered agent that helps you query, troubleshoot, and build with your data using natural language instead of complex query syntax.

Problems solved

ProblemHow Grafana Assistant helps
“I don’t know PromQL/LogQL/TraceQL”Ask questions in natural language.
“What does this dashboard panel mean?”“Explain this panel” feature
“Building dashboards takes too long”“Create a dashboard for this database”
“Root cause analysis is slow”AI-powered hypothesis suggestions in RCA Workbench
“Not everyone can query observability data”Democratizes access for the whole team.
“I have to leave Slack to check Grafana”@Grafana mentions work directly in Slack.

What you can do

CapabilityExample
Query data“Show me error rates for the payment service”
Investigate traces“Find the service causing the highest latency”
Explain dashboards“Explain this panel”
Create dashboards“Create a dashboard for this database”
Troubleshoot issues“What’s causing the CPU spike on this host?”
Correlate signalsLinks metrics, logs, traces, and profiles automatically.

Works at every level. Whether you’re exploring infrastructure metrics at Level 1 or debugging distributed traces at Level 3, Grafana Assistant speaks your language.

Script

Grafana Assistant is an AI-powered agent built into Grafana Cloud. It lets you interact with your observability data using natural language instead of complex query syntax.

Think about the barrier to getting insights. You need to learn PromQL for metrics, LogQL for logs, TraceQL for traces. Each has its own syntax, its own quirks. Grafana Assistant removes that barrier. Ask “Show me CPU usage for the checkout service” and it writes the query for you.

But it’s more than a query helper. It can explain panels you don’t understand. It can create dashboards from scratch. In RCA Workbench, it analyzes your entities and suggests probable causes. And through Slack, your whole team can ask questions by mentioning @Grafana, without even opening the Grafana UI.

The goal is simple: anyone on your team can get insights from observability data, regardless of their query expertise.
