Grafana skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Grafana API integration with managed authentication. This is a write-capable integration — it can read, create, update, and delete dashboards, data sources, folders, annotations, and teams in your Grafana instance, read alert rules and org info, read the current user's own profile, list installed plugins, and search service accounts (read-only inventory of identities that hold API tokens - no service account or token is created or changed here). Alert rules are documented read-only; the provisioning namespace can also write them, and this skill does so only on a specific user request with confirmation. Use this skill when users want to interact with Grafana for monitoring, visualization, and observability. All write operations (creating/updating/deleting dashboards, folders, data sources, or teams) require explicit user approval with specific resource identifiers before execution. Team administration is included: creating, updating, and deleting teams changes who can reach which dashboards and folders, so treat those as identity- and access-affecting writes that need explicit confirmation of the team by id and name. It does not cover user accounts, organization membership, licensing, or server-level platform settings. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn a Grafana connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs a Grafana action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with Grafana examples; they add no Grafana capability - Grafana is not an event source, a trigger cannot read Grafana data, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).

The Grafana skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the Grafana skill

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for grafana-api and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the Grafana skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add grafana-api

This pulls grafana-api from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/grafana-api/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use the Grafana skill

Once installed, the Grafana skill activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab grafana-api-1.2.10.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/grafana-api/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
