🗣️ **Talk**
**Monitoring and Managing Edge Devices at Scale with Grafana: The ProRail Approach - [Ho Yeung](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cshy/)**

This talk presents how ProRail has implemented a scalable and efficient monitoring solution for its IOT2050 edge devices using Grafana and containerized services. Attendees will learn how system metrics, Docker container statuses, and MQTT data are collected from edge devices and visualized in real-time dashboards, enabling both operational oversight and historical analysis. The session covers the integration of tools such as Grafana Agent, Alloy, Node Exporter, Mosquitto, and Node-RED—deployed through Portainer—to build a resilient monitoring infrastructure. We’ll also showcase interactive Grafana dashboards, including a nationwide map of edge devices, and explain how alerting mechanisms help detect issues early and reduce downtime. This session is ideal for observability engineers, systems specialists, and anyone interested in edge monitoring and infrastructure visibility at scale.

**🎙️ Ho Yeung** is currently working at ProRail, focusing on the development of an observability platform designed to streamline the collection and processing of measurement data. His work involves integrating diverse measurement devices into a system, automating data validation processes, and leading the visualization of data using Grafana. He collaborates with end-users and technical teams to ensure effective data presentation and decision-making, configuring Grafana in a Kubernetes environment.

🛠️ **Workshop**
**Logs, Metrics, Traces, and Mayhem: An Interactive Observability Adventure** - **[Imma Valls](https://www.linkedin.com/in/imma-valls/)**

This is a hands-on introductory session on observability. Through an engaging text-based adventure, you'll learn to diagnose and resolve issues in your systems. This workshop covers essential observability tools —metrics, logs, and traces — and shows how to leverage them effectively for real-world troubleshooting and insights in your application.
Bring your laptop for this session. Docker and git or a browser to run this on a killercoda playground are prerequisites. You can also work in pairs.

**🎙️ Imma Valls** is a Staff Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs. Imma enjoys automating stuff, and anything that helps get apps from development to production. She also loves sharing with local communities and helping them connect and thrive. She co-organizes Grafana’s meetups in Barcelona and Madrid, Cloud Native Barcelona meetups, and Software Crafters Barcelona. She also volunteers as a coach and board member at the TechFems Barcelona community and collaborates with Technovation Girls as a Judge.

🏢 **Location**
**HCS Company**: Anthony Fokkerweg 61\, Amsterdam \| https://maps\.app\.goo\.gl/LPMZKBzB7MutGrZb6\.
The HCS Company office is easily accessible by both car and public transport. You can park your car on their premises; ample parking is beyond the barrier. If you come by public transport, you can get off at the Henk Sneevlietweg metro station; from there, it is a 10-minute walk.

**🎙️ 18:30 Talk:**
**💣 3 data source plugins to add to your stack after this talk**

* ***Description:*** Grafana is not just about visualizing metrics, logs, and traces. It’s about bringing your data – wherever it lives, whatever it is – into one spot. Imagine bringing together data about deployments, cloud costs, and web accessibility! In this lightning talk, Grafana Labs Developer Advocate Usman Ahmad will share three open source data source plugins from the Grafana catalog and demonstrate how you can use them to enrich your existing dashboards.

We'll share how the idea came about, how we collaborated with the Grafana community and developers to bring it to life, and the challenges we faced along the way. We'll also discuss our vision for the plugin’s future and its role in the evolving observability landscape.
* ***Speakers:*** [Hamed Karbasi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamed-karbasi/), Senior Data Engineer @ [0+X](https://0x.se/)

GrafanaCON Recap Barcelona

SCRM - Lidl International Hub

L'observabilité des systèmes nous permet d'analyser et de mesurer les états internes des applications
en se basant principalement sur trois piliers essentiels : les métriques, les logs et les traces.
Cependant, il persiste des défis liés aux coûts et à la complexité d'usage des systèmes d'observabilité.
De plus, l'IA générative entre en jeu et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour simplifier
nos processus et améliorer nos résultats.
L'intégration de l'IA générative dans l'observabilité promet de faire évoluer notre approche, et
la synergie entre l'IA et l'observabilité nous permettra ainsi de mieux comprendre nos systèmes.
Au cours de cette session, nous explorerons comment Grafana, en tant qu'outil d'observabilité de premier plan,
peut tirer parti de ces avancées en IA générative pour transformer notre façon de surveiller et d'optimiser nos systèmes.
