Grafana

Grafana Development & Integration

Custom extensions, API integrations, and seamless embedding into your system landscape.

Standard software often covers 90% – we close the last gap. We develop Plugins, connect Grafana with your tools, and automate workflows.

Development Services

Our Development Services

From API integration to complete custom solutions – we cover the entire spectrum.

API & Interface Integration

We make your systems talk to each other. Whether REST, GraphQL, or webhooks – we connect software with your CRM, ERP, or identity provider.

  • Bidirectional data synchronization
  • Third-party system connections
  • Custom webhooks & event handlers
  • Legacy system integrations

Custom Middleware & Logic

Often data formats from System A don't match System B. We develop middleware that sits in between, transforms data, and controls processes.

  • Transformation layer (ETL)
  • Data stream validation
  • Caching layer for performance
  • Microservices architecture

Embeddings & Custom Apps

Want to use software features in your own intranet or customer portal? We embed software headlessly and build custom UIs around it.

  • White-label integration
  • Custom dashboards (React/Vue)
  • UI extension via plugins
  • Mobile app customizations

Automation & Bots

Save manual work through intelligent automation. We develop bots and scripts that handle tasks automatically.

  • ChatOps & slash commands
  • Automated reporting
  • Workflow orchestration
  • Trigger-based actions
Architecture & Interfaces

Custom Plugins & Data Sources

Grafana is more than just dashboards. It's a platform for observability apps. We develop native plugins that transform Grafana into a control center for your specific data sources.

Data Source Plugins (Go)

Standard data sources like Prometheus are often insufficient. We develop custom data source plugins in Go that directly connect proprietary APIs, legacy SQL databases, or IoT gateways – including query editor and alerting support.

Panel Plugins (React)

For special visualizations (e.g., machine layouts, wind turbine status), we develop custom panels in React. These use the Grafana Data Frame format and are fully interactive.

Grafana Apps

We bundle data sources, panels, and dashboards into complete 'Grafana Apps'. Ideal for delivering ready-made monitoring solutions to your end customers without them having to configure anything.

Practical Examples

Concrete Use Cases

How we implement Grafana development in practice.

Proprietary API Integration

Problem

Your industrial devices deliver data via a special REST or SOAP API that Grafana doesn't natively support. External exporters are unstable.

Solution

A backend plugin in Go that communicates directly with the API, implements caching, and converts data into Grafana-compatible frames. Performant and maintainable.

Digital Twin Visualization

Problem

Standard graphs cannot intuitively represent the physical state of a plant. Operators need a visual site plan.

Solution

A custom panel plugin that renders SVG graphics of your plant and visualizes live values (temperature, RPM) directly on the components with color coding.

Compliance Reporting

Problem

Dashboard screenshots are insufficient for audits. Generated PDFs with specific layouts and comments are required.

Solution

We use the rendering API to generate automated reports, enrich them with metadata, and send them via email or store them in the DMS.

Why WZ-IT

Development with Foresight

Update-safe, scalable, and secure – why you should trust us with your development.

Update-safe (No Core Hacking)

We don't modify the open-source software's source code. Instead, we use official APIs and plugin architectures. Your installation remains updatable and maintainable.

Full-Stack Expertise

We understand not just the code, but the infrastructure beneath it. Our developers know how queries affect database performance and how to build scalable APIs.

Modern Tech Stack

We use modern, type-safe technologies: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Go. Plus PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker/Kubernetes for infrastructure.

Security by Design

Every line of code is written with security in mind. Input sanitization, secure authentication (OAuth2/OIDC), and compliance with data protection regulations are standard.
