rpe-grafana

Read current values from Grafana dashboards without knowing the underlying queries. Use when: asked about values visible in a Grafana dashboard (sensor readings, metrics, stats). Navigate by dashboard and panel name — no PromQL/SQL needed. NOT for: writing to Grafana, admin operations, or raw query execution.

Why use this skill?

Use the rpe-grafana skill to read dashboard metrics and panel values instantly without writing PromQL or SQL. Simple, read-only integration.

What This Skill Does

The rpe-grafana skill acts as an intelligent abstraction layer between your OpenClaw agent and any Grafana instance. It solves the friction of needing to know complex query languages like PromQL or SQL by leveraging the existing intelligence embedded in your pre-configured Grafana dashboards. By communicating directly with the Grafana API, the agent can discover dashboards, inspect panel structures, and execute existing data queries to retrieve real-time metrics, logs, or status indicators without requiring human intervention or manual query construction.

Installation

You can integrate this skill by adding it to your openclaw.json configuration file. Ensure the required credentials are provided either via the config block or environment variables (GRAFANA_URL, GRAFANA_USER, GRAFANA_PASSWORD). Alternatively, you can use the OpenClaw CLI by running: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/darkstards9/grafana-plugin.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for operational monitoring, system status checks, and business intelligence reporting. Use it when you need to know the current load on a server, the latency of a microservice, or the latest sales figures reported in a visual widget. Because it reads the existing dashboard configuration, it ensures that the values returned to the user match exactly what they see in the browser UI, maintaining a single source of truth.

Example Prompts

"Check the current CPU utilization on the Production Dashboard and let me know if it's over 80%."
"List all the available dashboards so I can see what metrics we are tracking."
"What is the error rate reported in the API Gateway panel on the 'Service Health' dashboard?"

Tips & Limitations

Permissions: A 'Viewer' role is sufficient for this skill. We recommend using a dedicated read-only service account for security.
Scope: This skill is strictly for data retrieval. It cannot create alerts or modify your infrastructure.
Performance: For large dashboards with many panels, retrieve only what you need. If a panel displays historical trends, use the optional from and to parameters to narrow the focus.
Limitations: It cannot execute arbitrary queries not already mapped to a dashboard panel. If you need to perform custom data analysis beyond the UI, this tool is not the correct choice.
