Migration Journey
Run both systems in parallel, verify everything works, then switch.
⏱️ 2 hours for 1 engineer
✅ Configure double-write
✅ 1-click dashboards & alerts import
⏱️ 2 weeks (calendar time), ~1 day per team
✅ Validate dashboards
✅ Test queries & alerts
⏱️ 2 hours for 1 engineer
✅ Activate Oodle alerts
✅ Stop Grafana ingestion

In this phase, you'll configure your observability agents to send data to both Grafana and Oodle simultaneously. This double-write approach ensures zero risk - your existing Grafana setup remains unchanged while you validate Oodle in parallel.
Key benefit: Continue using your current agents (Prometheus, Vector, OTel). No new agents to deploy.
Add Oodle as an additional destination for your observability data.

Migrate your existing Grafana dashboards and alerts with a 1-click import process.
What gets imported: All datasources, panel configurations, visualizations, variables, annotations, dashboard organization, folders, time ranges, and refresh intervals.
Note: Loki dashboards are not supported for automated import at the moment. Oodle team will handle these migrations end-to-end for you.
What gets imported: Alert rule definitions and thresholds, evaluation intervals, notification policies, severity levels, labels, and annotations.
If you are using Grafana alerts, they are imported along with the dashboards.
Oodle supports alerts in Terraform. If you'd like to migrate to alerts-as-code, our team will help you set it up. Learn more.
If you are using Prometheus AlertManager:
prometheus.yml
& alertmanager.yml
filesTip: Configure Oodle alerts to send to a separate Slack channel so you can compare alert behavior side-by-side before switching over.
Effort: 2 weeks calendar time, ~1 day per team
In this phase, the teams verify ingestion of all telemetry signals, dashboards, and alerts. Usually, the DevOps/Platform teams verify basic ingestion and critical dashboards, logs, & traces first. The verification is then passed on to individual application teams to verify their own dashboards and telemetry signals are working as expected.
The bulk of the time is coordination and asynchronous review, not hands-on work.
P.S. For larger companies with dozens of teams, it can be done under a month.
Effort: 2 hours for 1 engineer
Once verification is complete and your team is confident, it's time for the final cutover. This is straightforward and reversible if needed.
Change alert status by updating the notifiers and state
In Grafana/AlertManager, silence or disable alert rules to prevent alert storms during transition
Remove configs writing to Grafana Cloud for all telemetry signals
Cancel your Grafana Cloud subscription and remove individual user licenses
