October 2025 monthly summary: Delivered two business-impact improvements across Percona’s Grafana dashboards and PMM platform, focusing on documentation accuracy and backup alert reliability. Key deliverables include updating PMM Grafana dashboard documentation links to reflect current MySQL/MariaDB versions and directing users to the latest PMM plugin documentation, and enhancing MongoDB PBM backup alerting to reduce noise while improving visibility of cluster-wide backup health. These changes improve onboarding efficiency, reduce support overhead, and strengthen proactive maintenance signals for operators. Technologies demonstrated include Grafana/PMM documentation practices, ProMeThus-like alert optimization concepts (max_over_time for backup age), PromQL-based alert templating, and cross-repo collaboration across grafana-dashboards and pmm. Overall impact: clearer guidance for users, more reliable backup alerts, and a measurable uplift in operator confidence and response quality.
