How to use Grafana Dashboard

Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics dashboard that provides charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported disparate data sources. We can create custome monitoring dashboards using interactive query builders.


How to install -
download v7.0.0
Download the installer (grafana-7.0.0.windows-amd64.msi) and run it with default options.

How to run -
Open cmd and go to install dir of grafana and run the grafana-server.exe under bin
C:\Program Files\GrafanaLabs\grafana\bin>.\grafana-server.exe

By default, Grafana will run on port 3000. Default credentials are admin/admin
Launch grafana via URL - http://localhost:3000/


Adding Influx data source in Grafana -
To use InfluxDB in Grafana, we need to establish a Data Source Connection.
Go to Configuration > Data Sources > Add Data Source > InfluxDB.

Once configured, check whether the Data Source works by clicking the Save & Test button. You should get a message like 'Data source is working'.

You can now create custom Dashboards by using its UI interface.
