grafana/grafana

Other apps

This page covers the smaller apps/<name>/ modules at a paragraph level. Each follows the same layout described in the Apps overview: kinds/, pkg/apis/<group>/<version>/, optional operator/, and plugin/.

`apps/playlist/`

Playlists — ordered sets of dashboards Grafana cycles through automatically. Resource: Playlist in playlist.grafana.app. Replaces the legacy pkg/services/playlist/ table over time.

`apps/preferences/`

User, team, and org preferences (default theme, home dashboard, week start, language). The legacy service is at pkg/services/preference/.

`apps/quotas/`

Per-tenant quota definitions and current usage (e.g. max dashboards per org, max alert rules per user). Backed by pkg/services/quota/.

`apps/secret/`

Manages encryption-protected secrets exposed as resources. Pairs with pkg/storage/secret/ and the legacy pkg/services/secrets/.

`apps/scope/`

Scopes — saved filter sets that drive the metrics drilldown / scopes UX. Frontend uses these to build per-environment / per-service navigation.

`apps/correlations/`

Correlations — links between datasources that let users jump from a metric to logs of the same service. Backed by pkg/services/correlations/.

`apps/annotation/`

Dashboard annotations as a first-class resource. Older annotation handling lives in pkg/services/annotations/.

`apps/shorturl/`

Shareable short URLs. The legacy service is pkg/services/shorturls/.

`apps/live/`

Live channels surfaced as resources for inspection / control. Underlying transport remains pkg/services/live/.

`apps/advisor/`

The Grafana Advisor — automated checks ("you have stale plugins", "this datasource is unhealthy") exposed as Check and CheckResult resources. Surface in the UI under "Administration → Advisor".

`apps/dashvalidator/`

A controller-only app — it doesn't expose new resources, it watches Dashboard events and emits validation diagnostics. Useful as a reference for writing simple operators.

`apps/collections/`

Logical groupings of resources for use in IaC / sharing flows.

`apps/logsdrilldown/`

State for the Logs Drilldown UX (saved views, suggested queries). Pairs with public/app/features/trails/ (the metrics drilldown variant).

`apps/plugins/`

Plugin metadata and per-org plugin settings as resources. Bridges to pkg/services/pluginsintegration/.

`apps/example/`

A minimal reference / template app. Useful as a copy-paste starting point when adding a new app — it shows the smallest possible CUE definition, registration code, and Makefile setup.
