Developed and implemented an advanced data visualization solution using Grafana, integrated with AWS CloudWatch, Zabbix, and MySQL to monitor and visualize key metrics across our infrastructure. Key responsibilities included:

- Installation and Configuration: Installed and configured Grafana on a dedicated server to ensure optimal performance and security. Set up data sources and configured authentication and permissions for different user roles.

- Integration with AWS CloudWatch: Configured Grafana to pull metrics from AWS CloudWatch, allowing for real-time monitoring of our cloud resources.

- Integration with Zabbix: Linked Grafana with Zabbix to enhance the visualization of infrastructure monitoring data collected by Zabbix.

- Integration with MySQL: Connected Grafana to MySQL databases to visualize query performance, database health, and other critical metrics.

- Dashboard Creation: Designed and implemented custom dashboards in Grafana to provide comprehensive and interactive visualizations of system performance, application metrics, and infrastructure health.

- Alerting and Reporting: Set up alerting mechanisms within Grafana to notify the team of any critical issues, and generated detailed reports for performance analysis.
