Visualizing metrics with Grafana

A user can access metrics on pre-built Dashboards in Grafana and use them for ad hoc reporting.

About Grafana

Grafana provides browser-based dashboards.

Visit the Grafana website for more information.

Opening Grafana

Grafana is deployed by default.

Assuming the command minikube ip returned 192.168.39.39, the console is available on http://grafana.192.168.39.39.nip.io.

minikube’s IP address changes every time the minikube instance is re-created.

Adding custom dashboards

Login to Grafana with the username admin and the password keycloak when anonymous login is not sufficient.

Custom dashboards are included in folder monitoring/dashboards. Add more dashboards there as new files, and task installs the latest versions in the minikube cluster.
