Short answer

How can I use AI to manage my Grafana dashboards?

Your AI uses the Coralogix MCP to search for existing dashboards or build new ones from scratch. You get immediate visibility into your service metrics without manually clicking through the Grafana UI.

Dashboard outcomes

What you can do with your AI

The AI handles the heavy lifting of dashboard management.

SEARCH

Find existing visuals

The AI scans your Coralogix instance to locate specific dashboards. You find exactly what you need without browsing folders.

CREATE

Generate new dashboards

Tell your AI what metrics matter, and it builds the dashboard for you. It handles the configuration so you don't have to.

VIEW

Access Grafana home

The AI can pull up your Grafana home view. This gives you a quick way to jump back into your main monitoring workspace.

HUMAN

Manual fine tuning

The AI builds the structure, but you decide if the visual layout meets your specific needs. You retain final control over every panel.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your intent into specific API calls to Coralogix.

  1. Locate dashboards

    The AI looks through your existing Coralogix setup to find the specific visualizations you asked for.

    search_grafana_dashboards

  2. Check the home view

    If you need a high-level overview, the AI pulls the current Grafana home state.

    get_grafana_home

  3. Build new visuals

    When you describe a new service or metric, the AI constructs a brand new dashboard.

    create_grafana_dashboard

  4. Verify the setup

    The AI uses the search tool again to confirm the new dashboard was created and is visible.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my existing dashboards?

    No. The current tools only allow for searching, viewing the home page, and creating new dashboards. Deletion is not supported.

  • 02

    Does the AI change my existing dashboard settings?

    No. The AI can find and create dashboards, but it does not have the capability to modify or edit existing ones.

  • 03

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    Do I need to write JSON to make a dashboard?

    No. You just describe what you want in plain English, and the AI handles the technical configuration.

  • 05

    Will the AI see my Coralogix login password?

    No. Your credentials are encrypted and managed by Vinkius; the AI only sees the data it needs to perform the requested tasks.
