Exploring Grafana WEB interface for CNSA project in a k8s OCP environment

The Grafana application host URL is stored in the grafana-route instance.

Example output:

oc get route -n $NAMESPACE
NAME            HOST/PORT                                                PATH   SERVICES          PORT   TERMINATION   WILDCARD
grafana-route   grafana-route-grafana-for-cnsa.apps.hw.cp.fyre.ibm.com          grafana-service   3000   edge          None

In a browser put the 'HOST/PORT' URL to open a Grafana user interface. Click on ‘Sign In’ from the bottom left menu of Grafana, and log in using the default username and password configured earlier(root/secret).

Click on Configuration > Data Sources in the side menu and you’ll be taken to the data sources page where you can review and test grafana-bridge datasource settings.

In the OpenTSDB settings make sure the version "2.3" is selected. Finally click on 'Save & Test' button.

Now you can import some predefined Grafana dashboards or create your own.

In the Grafana web interface sidebar, hover the cursor over Dashboards (squares) icon, and then click Manage. The simple dashboard is listed as member of the my-folder folder.

Click on the dashboard name (simple) to open this dashboard.
