Grafana OSS ships without a built-in reporting engine, meaning no scheduled PDFs, email delivery, branded templates, or multi-tenant routing. Skedler is presented as the primary solution for this gap, deployable via Docker or Helm on top of an existing Grafana stack. It generates scheduled PDF, PNG, and HTML reports via a REST API, supports white-label branding and multi-tenant routing, and is positioned as cheaper than upgrading to Grafana Enterprise. The post targets MSPs, ISPs, and managed observability providers who need to deliver branded, scheduled reports to customers as part of their service contracts.
