Generate Dashboards with AI#

Overview#

You can use AI with Grafana-based Analytics Views to help generate new dashboards or refine existing ones.

Before You Start#

Keep the following behavior in mind:

  • The Generative AI dashboard functionality requires the corresponding licensed module. To verify the modules available in your environment, see Licenses.
  • The current scope is limited to Grafana dashboards.
  • System dashboards remain visible, but are not editable.
  • You can manually edit custom Grafana dashboards when you have the required edit permissions.
  • The dashboard page uses the standard Analytics View Details view together with the AI experience.

Use AI to Create or Refine a Dashboard#

  1. Open a Grafana-based Analytics View.
  2. Open the AI experience available for the dashboard.

  5. If needed, manually edit the custom Grafana dashboard directly.

Notes#

The AI experience is intended to support dashboard generation and iteration. Standard Analytics View behavior, such as visibility restrictions and edit permissions, still applies.
