Show HN: Grafana TUI – Browse Grafana dashboards in the terminal I built a terminal UI for browsing Grafana dashboards. It connects to any Grafana instance and lets you explore dashboards without leaving the terminal.

It renders the most common panel types (time series, bar charts, gauges, heatmaps etc.). You can change the time range, set dashboard variables and filter series.

I built this because I spend most of my day in the terminal and wanted a quick way to glance at dashboards without switching to the browser. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a nifty and useful tool.

Built with Go, Bubble Tea, ntcharts, and Claude (of course). You can install it via Homebrew:

    brew install lovromazgon/tap/grafana-tui
... and try it out against Grafana's public playground:

    grafana-tui --url https://play.grafana.org
