Japan's space agency JAXA successfully conducted its first lunar landing on January 19, 2024. Using Grafana for real-time monitoring, JAXA tracked critical SLIM spacecraft functions like navigation and heater status. Satoshi Nakahira showcased the dashboards at GrafanaCON 2024, highlighting their integration with InfluxDB for enhanced observability. The dashboards helped monitor power, navigation, and landing maneuvers, providing visually impressive and easily editable insights that were crucial during the mission.
