What is a Grot?

What is a Grot?

Grot is a term of endearment for @grafanabot, the helpful little bot that keeps the Grafana GitHub repo in order. According to legend, Grot was born from the flames and tears of broken dashboards – but never fear, Grot’s always there to save the day with issue triage and pull requests.

A brief history of Grot

A brief history of Grot

Our dino friend spent 65 million years in hibernation. Upon awakening, they found themselves having to re-learn everything they thought they knew about the world. Grot’s unique abilities to sift through the masses of issues and pull requests quickly proved invaluable to the Grafana community.
