Grafana

The Grafana RPM Package can be downloaded and installed from https://grafana.com/grafana/download.

The steps to access the customized dashboards are as follows:

• Connect to Grafana via https://>ip-address<:3000
• Login as admin/admin
• Change admin password
• Add Prometheus datasource
• Import all 5 dashboards
  • PostgreSQL.json
  • PostgreSQLDetails.json
  • BloatDetails.json
  • CRUD_Details.json
  • TableSize_Details.json

API Import

It is possible to import these graphs through the “import” HTTP API using the following curl command to add some required wrapper information to each json blob.

curl --user username:password -S "http://localhost:3000/api/dashboards/import" -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' --data-binary "{  \"dashboard\" : $(cat PostgreSQL.json) , \"overwrite\":true, \"inputs\":[  {  \"name\":\"DS_PROMETHEUS\", \"type\":\"datasource\", \"pluginId\":\"prometheus\", \"value\":\"PROMETHEUS\" } ] }"

You will likely have to edit the following parts of the above command:

• Username
• Password
• URL (and port if different from default)
• The file to import goes in the $cat() parentheses. In the above example this is “PostgreSQL.json”.
• In the above example, “value: PROMETHEUS” is your grafana datasource name for this dashboard. Replace “PROMETHEUS” with the proper datasource name.
