Flann turns Grafana into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in Grafana for you. Your website, booking system or app depends on tools you never open yourself. Your developer does. Connect Grafana to Flann and you can ask how things are running in plain words, on WhatsApp, without waiting for someone to translate a dashboard for you.
11 actions in Grafana. 9 only look things up, and 2 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Where Flann saves you time in Grafana
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Grafana is connected.
Alerts in plain English
Today
Alert emails from Grafana arrive full of codes and thresholds. You cannot tell an urgent one from a routine one, so you either ignore them all or worry about every one.
With Flann
“What does this alert from Grafana mean? Should I worry?”
Flann reads the alert and the context around it in Grafana, then explains what happened in a couple of plain sentences. It says whether it looks serious and who usually handles that kind of thing.
What you stop doing: Guessing which alerts matter is no longer your job.
Passing a fault to the right person
Today
When something breaks, you forward a screenshot to your developer with a vague description. They then ask the questions you could not answer.
With Flann
“Send Dan the details of this error so he can look at it.”
Flann gathers what Dan will need from Grafana: when the error started, how often it happens and which part of the system is affected. It drafts a clear message to him with those facts.
What you stop doing: Your role as messenger between customers and developer comes to an end.
