Pre-canned product charts ¶

The instructions outlined on this page provide details on how you can deploy a set of Grafana dashboards specific to your provisioned DC product(s)

Pre-requisites

JMX metrics, Prometheus and Grafana will all need to be provisioned already to make use of this guide. For instructions on how to do this see, Monitoring with Prometheus

1. Enable Pre-canned dashboards ¶

Update the grafana stanza within the deployments values.yaml to enable dashboard creation with the appropriate labels i.e.

monitoring:
  grafana:
    createDashboards: true
    dashboardLabels:
      grafana_dashboard: "1"

grafana_dashboard value

The value to assign to the label dashboardLabels.grafana_dashboard can be obtained by examining Environment variables for the grafana pod sidecar grafana-sc-dashboard. For instance:

kubectl describe pod prometheus-stack-grafana-57dc5589b-2wh98 -n <prometheus-stack-namespace> | grep -A 20 grafana-sc-dashboard | grep -A 5 Environment

Note: The name of the Grafana pod (prometheus-stack-grafana-57dc5589b-2wh98) may vary slightly between deploys

will return something like

Environment:
    METHOD:        WATCH
    LABEL:         grafana_dashboard
    LABEL_VALUE:   1
    FOLDER:        /tmp/dashboards
    RESOURCE:      both

In this case we're interested in the value for the label grafana_dashboard, that is 1. As such the grafana stanza, above` has been updated with this value.

Now perform an upgrade using the updated values.yaml:

helm upgrade confluence atlassian-data-center/confluence -f values.yaml --wait --namespace <namespace>

2. Dashboard confirmation ¶

Confirm the dashboards are provisioned and working by running (replace pod name with an actual Grafana pod name):

kubectl port-forward prometheus-stack-grafana-57dc5589b-2wh98 3000:3000 -n <prometheus-stack-namespace>

Now go to http://localhost:3000 in your local browser. Once logged into Grafana (The default credentials are admin:prom-operator) select Dashboards > Filter by tag > Product name. You should be presented with a list of product specific dashboards that can be viewed, for instance
