Production guidance

Engineering workflow

Scope and impact

Define service, owner, expected state and impact before changing the monitor.

Evidence first

Validate source, path, credentials, baseline and timestamps before changing thresholds.

Controlled change

Change one variable at a time and retain a rollback path.

Commands / reference flow

[server]
domain = grafana.exemplo.local
root_url = https://grafana.exemplo.local/

[database]
type = postgres
host = db-grafana:5432
name = grafana
user = grafana

Maintenance

Recommended operating routine

Review critical states, collection gaps and delivery failures every shift.
Review noisy alerts, slow objects, credentials and recurring errors every week.
Review versions, backup/restore, permissions and capacity periodically.

Troubleshooting by evidence

Symptom → scope → layer → evidence → hypothesis → validation

Capture logs, timestamps, output and topology before corrective action whenever possible.

Guided lab

Build, break, diagnose and recover

Record a healthy baseline.
Induce one controlled failure related to this topic.
Identify the failing layer before restarting components.
Correct the identified cause and validate recovery.

Production checklist

Ready for production?

Ownership

Objective, scope and owner are defined.

Security

Validation

Failure and recovery were tested and documented.

Version and references

Version-sensitive documentation

Editorial reference reviewed against Grafana 13.2. Reconfirm APIs, breaking changes, plugins, and HA behavior against the exact installed release.
