Grafana Mobile Alert Dashboard
Grafana Mobile Alerts is a custom monitoring dashboard implemented in Python with Flask. It is designed to provide a mobile-friendly view of Grafana alert rules, combining live alert state, historical trends, and rule management in a single interface. The application retrieves alert data from Grafana’s rules and provisioning APIs, correlates it with Prometheus time-series data, and renders a compact operational overview for on-call users who need to assess system health quickly from a phone or tablet.
The system is organized around a host-centric and service-centric model. Alerts are associated with labels such as hostname and servicename, allowing the interface to group rules by machine and by service category. This grouping was explicitly intended to resemble the operational structure used by Icinga, where alerts are usually understood in terms of hosts and services rather than only as abstract Grafana rule groups. In other words, the dashboard was built to feel closer to classic Nagios/Icinga-style monitoring, even though the underlying alert engine is Grafana and the data source is Prometheus.
A distinguishing feature is that it supports multiple views: a general alert overview, host-based drill-down, service-group drill-down, detailed rule inspection, and rule pause/resume controls. It also includes interactive charting for metric history, alert-state transition history, and support for authentication, session handling, and secure access. The overall goal is to bridge modern Grafana alerting with a familiar infrastructure-monitoring workflow that is easier to navigate during incidents and closer to traditional monitoring practices.
Design intent
- Host grouping and service grouping were shaped to be more familiar to operators coming from Icinga and similar monitoring systems.
- The dashboard favors operational clarity over raw Grafana rule structure.
- It emphasizes quick triage, status aggregation, and mobile usability for incident response.
