Building Interactive Grafana Dashboards for Business Intelligence
summary
Grafana dashboards pull BigQuery source data into interactive UI elements that behave like mini data apps: live dashboard variables feed SQL via a time filter macro, and clicks use data links to rewrite the URL and update hidden variables (monthly_groupby) for on‑the‑fly drilldowns. Use query inspector to inspect generated SQL, stat panels to show percent change, alerts to post spikes to Slack/Zendesk, and a 3D plot created from open I's embedding model + a Plotly plugin.
