Grafana is Not Enough: DIY User Interfaces for Prometheus
summary
Explains a concrete DIY stack: extract Prometheus queries via the Prometheus API, inject links from Grafana using a browser extension, and open a notebook with prefilled query fields that support metric and label autocomplete. Implements tables that auto-extract label columns (values table), allows clicking a cell to rewrite the PromQL filter, reuses rickshaw charts for plotting, supports multiple queries per cell, and demos successfully against Weaveworks/Cortex-hosted Prometheus for faster troubleshooting.
