Modern observability workflows are getting a major upgrade. This video explores how AI agents can now read your metrics, logs, and traces directly — drawing conclusions, building custom dashboards on the spot, and surfacing problems you didn't even know to ask about. Starting with Grafana Assistant inside the Grafana UI, then moving to Claude Code wired up to the Grafana MCP server, you'll see how a single terminal-based agent can query Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo, generate fitted dashboards from natural language, and analyze runtime data without ever switching tools or leaving the command line.
The real payoff isn't prettier dashboards — it's closing the gap between analysis and remediation. When your coding agent can see what's actually happening in production, it stops reasoning in the dark. It verifies fixes by checking live data after a deploy, notices anomalies on the way to doing other work, and grounds every decision in real observability signals. Whether you're using Grafana Cloud's built-in Assistant or connecting an external agent through the MCP server, the result is the same: a code-and-runtime-aware agent that handles the tedious parts of incident investigation so you can focus on what actually matters.
