   AI-empowered warning system

   Grafana scenes helped us a lot in visualising data and setting up an alerting system on top of Grafana. In this talk, I go through our journey from starting using Grafana as iframes and challenges we faced to moving forward with Grafana Scenes and the amount of impact we had in a short amount of time in three different applications we developed for our clients.

   Optiop is a consulting firm, focused on building visualisation applications and consulting companies in setting up their observability setup.

   Observability at the edge: monitoring distributed infrastructures with Grafana

   Edge computing is revolutionizing industries by processing data closer to its source, but observability in these environments presents unique challenges—especially in air-gapped and radio-silent deployments where connectivity is limited or non-existent. Traditional cloud-based monitoring solutions fall short in these scenarios, leaving organizations with operational blind spots, increased downtime risks, and higher maintenance costs.

   This session explores how ZEDEDA integrates Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus to deliver real-time observability for large-scale distributed, air-gapped, and intermittently connected edge infrastructures. We’ll cover collecting and storing metrics locally with Prometheus, optimizing log aggregation with Loki in low-bandwidth environments, and visualizing distributed systems in Grafana—even when offline.

   Using real-world case studies, we’ll demonstrate how industries like manufacturing and energy leverage Grafana to monitor edge infrastructure under strict network constraints. Learn how factories prevent downtime with predictive analytics in air-gapped environments, energy providers optimize remote assets with store-and-forward telemetry, and industrial facilities maintain observability without constant cloud connectivity.
