Demeter Dashboard Standardization Proposal — helmfile label → Prometheus → Grafana variable chain

Demeter Dashboard Standardization Proposal

Problem

The current Demeter dashboards have scaling and usability issues:

  1. Hardcoded namespace filtering — every dashboard query uses {namespace="ext-nodes-m1"} or {namespace="ftr-ogmios-v0"}. Adding a new cluster or namespace means updating every dashboard and alert manually.

  2. Inconsistent query patterns — the node dashboard filters by namespace + pod pattern, ogmios by pod pattern only, kupo by generic pod label. There's no unified way to drill down.
