And how would Torkel answer?
In the context of Grafana's expression queries, if you were to perform the operation 2 + 2 using the Math operation, it would simply evaluate to 4. This is because when both operands are numbers, the operation is straightforward arithmetic.
As for how Torkel, one of the original creators of Grafana, might answer—he might humorously point out that while 2 + 2 is indeed 4, the real magic of Grafana lies in its ability to handle much more complex data operations and visualizations, bringing together metrics, logs, and traces to provide a comprehensive observability solution.
