Azure Managed Grafana Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Managed Grafana. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.
How to Use This Skill
IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Configuration
L71-L80
Configuring Managed Grafana workspaces: instance settings, bundled Prometheus, plugins, metrics via Azure Monitor, diagnostic logs, and SMTP email alert setup.
Integrations & Coding Patterns
L81-L94
Connecting Grafana to Azure/AKS/Prometheus data, configuring data source plugins, MCP endpoints, AI agents, and setting up monitoring dashboards and alert integrations.
Deployment
L95-L98
Designing highly available Azure Managed Grafana workspaces, including reliability features, SLAs, and enabling zone-redundant deployments for resiliency.
This skill provides expert reference guidance for Azure Managed Grafana, covering troubleshooting, security, configuration, integrations, and deployment. It functions as a documentation index and guidance framework, directing agents to fetch and synthesize information from Microsoft Learn documentation via MCP tools (mcp_microsoftdocs or fetch_webpage).

Use Cases
Configure Azure Managed Grafana authentication and RBAC with Entra
Troubleshoot private endpoint connectivity and DNS resolution issues
Migrate from self-hosted or Essential-tier Grafana to Standard or Enterprise
Set up high-availability zone-redundant deployments for Grafana workspaces
Integrate Grafana with Azure Monitor, Prometheus, and AKS data sources
Configure service accounts, tokens, and deterministic outbound IPs
Set up SMTP email alerts and diagnostic logging
Plan Grafana version upgrades (11→12)

Quality Notes
Well-organized category index with clear line number ranges and topic descriptions
Each category links to specific Microsoft Learn URLs for authoritative reference
Includes practical guidance on version checks and MCP tool fallbacks
Clear scope boundaries—explicitly excludes Azure Monitor and Azure Data Explorer
Comprehensive coverage of 7 major domains (troubleshooting, security, deployment, etc.)
Skill is reference-oriented; actual implementation requires agent to fetch and synthesize documentation
License file included (CC-BY 4.0) but not integrated into skill frontmatter or file manifest
Metadata timestamp and freshness check instructions are helpful for long-lived reference content
