It supports several backend -data stores, including InfluxDB. GitLab writes performance data to InfluxDB -and Grafana will allow you to query InfluxDB to display useful graphs. - -For the easiest installation and configuration, install Grafana on the same -server as InfluxDB. For larger installations, you may want to split out these -services. - -## Installation - -Grafana supplies package repositories (Yum/Apt) for easy installation. -See [Grafana installation documentation](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/) -for detailed steps. - -> **Note**: Before starting Grafana for the first time, set the admin user -and password in `/etc/grafana/grafana.ini`. Otherwise, the default password -will be `admin`. - -## Configuration - -Login as the admin user. Expand the menu by clicking the Grafana logo in the -top left corner. Choose 'Data Sources' from the menu. Then, click 'Add new' -in the top bar. - - - -Fill in the configuration details for the InfluxDB data source. Save and -Test Connection to ensure the configuration is correct. - -- **Name**: InfluxDB -- **Default**: Checked -- **Type**: InfluxDB 0.9.x (Even if you're using InfluxDB 0.10.x) -- **Url**: https://localhost:8086 (Or the remote URL if you've installed InfluxDB -on a separate server) -- **Access**: proxy -- **Database**: gitlab -- **User**: admin (Or the username configured when setting up InfluxDB) -- **Password**: The password configured when you set up InfluxDB - - - -## Apply retention policies and create continuous queries - -If you intend to import the GitLab provided Grafana dashboards, you will need to -set up the right retention policies and continuous queries. The easiest way of -doing this is by using the [influxdb-management](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/influxdb-management) -repository. - -To use this repository you must first clone it: - -``` -git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/influxdb-management.git -cd influxdb-management -``` - -Next you must install the required dependencies: - -``` -gem install bundler -bundle install -``` - -Now you must configure the repository by first copying `.env.example` to `.env` -and then editing the `.env` file to contain the correct InfluxDB settings. Once -configured you can simply run `bundle exec rake` and the InfluxDB database will -be configured for you. - -For more information see the [influxdb-management README](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/influxdb-management/blob/master/README.md). - -## Import Dashboards - -You can now import a set of default dashboards that will give you a good -start on displaying useful information. GitLab has published a set of default -[Grafana dashboards][grafana-dashboards] to get you started. Clone the -repository or download a zip/tarball, then follow these steps to import each -JSON file. - -Open the dashboard dropdown menu and click 'Import' - - - -Click 'Choose file' and browse to the location where you downloaded or cloned -the dashboard repository. Pick one of the JSON files to import. - - - -Once the dashboard is imported, be sure to click save icon in the top bar. If -you do not save the dashboard after importing it will be removed when you -navigate away. - - - -Repeat this process for each dashboard you wish to import. - -Alternatively you can automatically import all the dashboards into your Grafana -instance. See the README of the [Grafana dashboards][grafana-dashboards] -repository for more information on this process. - -[grafana-dashboards]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/grafana-dashboards - ---- - -Read more on: - -- [Introduction to GitLab Performance Monitoring](introduction.md) -- [GitLab Configuration](gitlab_configuration.md) -- [InfluxDB Installation/Configuration](influxdb_configuration.md) -- [InfluxDB Schema](influxdb_schema.md) +This document was moved to [administration/monitoring/performance/grafana_configuration](../../administration/monitoring/performance/grafana_configuration.md). |
