# Grafana Skill

Read current values from any Grafana dashboard without writing queries. The plugin navigates by dashboard and panel name, extracts the panel's existing query configuration, and returns a compact summary — no PromQL, SQL, or datasource knowledge required.

Works with any Grafana datasource (Prometheus, InfluxDB, MySQL, …).

Setup

Add to your `openclaw.json`:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "rpe-grafana": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "url": "http://your-grafana:3000",
          "user": "your-username",
          "password": "your-password"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Or set environment variables:

Tools

grafana_list_dashboards

List all available dashboards.

**Parameters:** none

**Returns:** `[{ uid, title }]`

grafana_list_panels

List all panels in a dashboard.

**Parameters:**

**Returns:** `[{ id, title }]`

grafana_query_panel

Read the current data for a specific panel. Fetches the panel's query configuration from the dashboard and executes it via Grafana's datasource API — no query language knowledge needed.

**Parameters:**

**Returns:** `[{ refId, name, lastValue, unit }]`

Typical Workflow

1. `grafana_list_dashboards` → find the dashboard UID

2. `grafana_list_panels` → find the panel ID by title

3. `grafana_query_panel` → get the current value
