Locate the dashboards

At present, we ship a few pre-defined Grafana dashboards out-of-the box and provide general information for Redgate Clone metrics. You can find them by:

1. Selecting Dashboards on the left hand side panel
   
2. Clicking on Browse
   
   

This should bring a screen similar to the one below. Select any of them to display the dashboard.

Custom dashboards

The dashboards are filled with metrics from Prometheus.  You can see the metrics by selecting Explore and choosing the prometheus datasource. 

Custom dashboards can be created in grafana from the UI by following this guide: Grafana custom dashboards from the UI.

These won't be saved, but can be exported in json format.  The exported file can be inserted into a kubernetes config map. If you know how to create a config map on the cluster, then the dashboard can be saved there.

Any config map with the label grafana_dashbaord = 1 and in the monitoring namespace, is automatically loaded. 

Below is an example of the definition of a configmap for a dashboard.
