The GPL and AGPL are clear that bundling does not constitute a derivative work, and does not require you to license the bundled works under the GPL/APL.
If you write a custom plugin for Grafana, then that plugin will likely need to be distributed under the AGPL (depending on Grafana's plugin architecture), but not your entire app.
I would be completely confident in bundling in this manner. The AGPL3 and GPL3 have identical wording on this matter, and it has been a well understood aspect of the GPL for decades.
Yes, I understood that just distributing grafana and your app together is not a problem, that is bundling. But what if grafana is a part of your app ? If you have a grafana dashboard inside the UI of your own application, this cannot be considered bundling, can it ? The AGPL is clear that if the result of the aggregation "forms a larger product", then you are NOT covered by the bundling clause.
