Knowledge Graph Mode in Grafana Assistant
Troubleshoot your entity setup with Knowledge Graph mode
Knowledge Graph mode is a new specialist mode in Grafana Assistant that understands how your entity graph is built, end to end, and helps you work with it: ask why it looks the way it does, fix what doesn’t look right, and add what doesn’t ship by default.
When to reach for it
- You have a question about your entity graph. “What is this insight?” “Why is my service connected to that pod?” “How is this entity discovered?” “Where do these labels come from?” The mode answers from how KG actually works, not a guess.
- Something doesn’t look right. A relationship is missing, an entity won’t show up, a CALLS edge is silent. The mode walks the causal chain with you (config to metrics to labels to rules to graph) to find where it breaks.
- You need something that doesn’t ship out of the box. Internal services, bespoke middleware, in-house frameworks, custom insights. The mode explains what’s missing and drafts the rules to add it (model rules, recording rules) for you to review and apply.
- You want to change what shows up. Add a dashboard to your entities, or hide an out-of-the-box one. The mode handles both.
