When it comes to data visualization, real-time dashboards tell a different kind of story than static reports. With Grafana OSS, I’ve been able to build visuals that evolve every second – from server performance to product usage patterns. But stakeholders still want something tangible: a report they can hold or share.
That’s why we layered in a reporting tool to export dashboards to polished PDFs/Excels, schedule delivery automatically, and keep the visual design intact. Now we get the best of both worlds – live stories for the team, shareable reports for decision-makers.
I’m curious, who else is using Grafana as a data sharing tool? How do you share your data insights with your stakeholders?
