Introduction
Scaling the FRMS Solution effectively means we will need to observe bottlenecks to scale effectively. Our monitoring Solution consists of Prometheus (https://prometheus.io/ ) for data collection and Grafana (https://grafana.com/ ) for data visualization.
Our NATS , DNS and Arango metrics are all being scraped by Prometheus.
Data Source
Before we can import any dashboard we require a datasource. Open the Grafana Dashboard.
Navigate to Add Data Source and choose Prometheus:
Point towards your prometheus Server:
Scroll to the end, Press “Save & Test“ - if all is well, you should see the following message:
Dashboards
We will mainly be importing dashboard in this example, but you are welcome to create your own.
Navigate to dashboards:
Click import
You can import via JSON or Dashboard Code
Depending on dashboard, remember to set datasource to our defined Prometheus data source.
