grafana

Catalog date: 2026-06-24.

The platform's primary dashboard surface. Bundled with the kube-prometheus-stack and pre-loaded with datasources for Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Loki (logs), and Jaeger (traces).

Deployment surfaces

Surface	Where
Kustomize	folded into observability/kube-prometheus-stack/ (Helm chart bundles Grafana)
Standalone	(none — Grafana is always shipped with the stack)

Datasources

Per grafana-datasources.yaml (sidecar-discovered via the grafana_datasource label):

Datasource	Backend
Prometheus	prometheus-operated:9090 (in-cluster, default)
Loki	loki:3100 (in-cluster)
Jaeger	jaeger-query:16686 (in-cluster)
OpenSearch Logs	opensearch:9200
QuestDB	questdb:8812 (Postgres-protocol datasource)
Phoenix UI	phoenix:6006 — a prometheus-type datasource against Phoenix's own endpoint, not a Postgres backend

No VictoriaMetrics datasource block was found in this file — flagging the earlier "VictoriaMetrics" row as unverified/likely stale.

Dashboards

Provisioned via ConfigMaps carrying the grafana_dashboard label — the Helm chart's dashboard sidecar (dashboards.enabled: true, searchNamespace: ALL) discovers them cluster-wide. No observability/kube-prometheus-stack/dashboards/ directory or any grafana_dashboard-labeled ConfigMap currently exists in alphaswarm_platform, so the previously listed default dashboard set (cluster health, AlphaSwarm runtime, Linkerd proxy metrics, per-cell tenant overlays) could not be verified — flagging as unverified rather than asserting specific shipped dashboards.

Custom dashboards land via PR — never via the Grafana UI alone (UI edits are wiped on the next reconciliation).

Operations

• Auth: per helm-values.yaml, Grafana's auth.generic_oauth block is currently wired to Auth0 (alphaswarm-fund.us.auth0.com), not an Entra tenant, with auto_assign_org_role: Editor for every authenticated alpha-swarm.ai user — there is no alphaswarm-staff / alphaswarm-operators role-mapping config in that file. Correcting the earlier claim of an Entra-backed admin/editor/viewer split, which does not match the current chart config.
• Persistence: Grafana DB is SQLite by default (folded into the Helm chart); production cells point at a per-cell Postgres schema.
