Grafana — Guide — Felhom.eu ← Apps Grafana A visualisation platform - dashboards, graphs and alerts ● Running grafana.tester4.test Open ↗ What is it for? See system numbers as graphs (CPU, RAM, network, disk) Build your own dashboards from several data sources Alerts and notifications when a number crosses a line you set Prometheus, InfluxDB and many more data sources Dashboards that look good and can be shared First steps Open grafana.tester4.test in your browser Sign in with the admin account Add your data sources (Connections > Data Sources) Import a dashboard template, or build your own Before you start A data source is needed (Prometheus, for example - installed separately) Set your own password It is worth replacing the password made at install time with your own. Select your profile picture at the top right and choose „Change password”. In „Old password”, type the generated password: you see it on the dashboard, on Grafana's „Settings” tab. Type the new password into „New password” and „Confirm password”. Select „Change Password”. Add a family member Everyone can look at the dashboards with their own account. In the menu on the left, open „Administration”, and in it „Users and access”. Choose „Users”, and select „New user”. Fill in „Name”, „Username” and „Password”. Select „Create user”, and give the family member the name and the password. Hungarian and the theme Everyone chooses the language and the colours in their own account. Select your profile picture at the top right and choose „Profile”. In „Language”, choose Hungarian (the list shows it under its own name), then select „Save preferences”. For light or dark colours, choose „Change theme” in the profile picture's menu. A dashboard on the TV A dashboard can run on the whole screen with no menus, for example on a TV. In the TV's browser, sign in with a family member's account and open the dashboard. In the profile picture's menu, choose „Enable kiosk mode”: the menus go away. Press ESC to leave kiosk mode. Frequently asked questions I changed the password. Which one is valid? The one you set in Grafana. The generated password was only for the first sign-in. A family member can only look. Why? A new user gets the viewer role in Grafana. To let them edit, open them in the „Users” list and give them the editor role with „Change role”. Where does the data come from? Grafana only shows data: a data source provides it, and you add that in the „Connections” menu. The box installs no data source. Do I get an e-mail about an alert? No: the box does not set up mail sending for Grafana, so no alert goes out by e-mail. Where are my dashboards? In Grafana's own data store, on the box. You see their backup on the „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
