Grafana
Grafana allows you to quickly see the current state of your cluster and deployments.
Details
For customers who need to visualise the state of their NKE cluster, nine provides a default dashboard, built with Grafana.
You are also free to create your own dashboards, manage them in folders to create different hierarchies and add alerts to them.
Availability
Grafana is available as an optional service for NKE and it can be deployed using Cockpit.
Usage
You can log in with your Cockpit account credentials.
Custom Dashboards and Alerts
To create your own dashboards, have a look at the official Grafana Documentation.
Please note that Nine Managed Grafana comes with certain restrictions:
- Currently, it is not possible to add your own datasources.
- Editing the pre-deployed dashboards is not allowed, however, you can copy the JSON-definition of panels and use it in your own dashboard.
- It is not possible to configure alerts via email
- Alerts can only be defined on Dashboards & Panels that you have created
However, it is possible to give yourself admin permissions by deploying the Grafana
instance with EnableAdminAccess set to true, which will remove those
restrictions.
Note: We advise you to be careful with the admin permissions, as you could potentially break your Grafana instance. Nine reserves the right to remove admin permissions at any moment if the admin access is deemed a security or an operational risk.
