Principles to remember

  1. Grafana resources deserve Infrastructure as Code rigor. Version control, review, and automation produce a solid observability experience.
  2. Terraform’s state management prevents drift. The state file ensures manual UI edits are corrected on the next pipeline run.
  3. The alerting pipeline has three parts. Rule groups, contact points, and notification policies work together as a unit.
  4. The pipeline is the source of truth. Code on main equals what’s deployed.
