Merlonix Monitoring vs Mcp Grafana

analyze_loki_labels

Audits a Loki label strategy and optionally diagnoses query performance. Returns per-label verdicts, missing base labels, normalisation issues, and a recommended set. Pass datasourceUid for live cardinality or labels for static scoring; both may be combined.

check_datasources_health

Check datasource health. Filter by type or UIDs; omit both to check all.

create_annotation

Create a new annotation on a dashboard or panel. Set format to 'graphite' and provide 'what' for Graphite-format annotations.

create_datasource

Create a datasource. If type is ambiguous, call search_plugin_information first; install the plugin if needed. IMPORTANT: always call this tool twice. First call: provide only the type — the tool returns a field schema. After receiving the schema, you MUST ask the user for every required field value explicitly; do not infer or use defaults without user confirmation. Second call: provide the type, the display name in the top-level name argument, schemaReviewed=true, and the fields map populated with values confirmed by the user. Never handle credentials — remind the user to rotate any detected. Returns UID, health check, and a config page link.

create_folder

Create a Grafana folder. Provide a title and optional UID. Returns the created folder.

create_incident

Create a new Grafana incident. Requires title, severity, and room prefix. Allows setting status and labels. This tool should be used judiciously and sparingly, and only after confirmation from the user, as it may notify or alarm lots of people.

create_snapshot

Create a Grafana snapshot from a full dashboard payload. Supports optional expiration and external snapshot fields.

delete_snapshot

Delete a Grafana snapshot by snapshot key.

find_error_pattern_logs

Searches Loki logs for elevated error patterns compared to the last day's average, waits for the analysis to complete, and returns the results including any patterns found.
