Grafana Configuration

This directory contains the configuration for Grafana, which serves as the visualization and dashboarding platform for the CS Repro environment.

Overview

Grafana is an open-source platform for monitoring and observability that allows you to query, visualize, alert on, and understand your metrics, logs, and traces.

Current Setup

Running as a single instance (version 10.0.4)
Available at http://localhost:3000
Default credentials: admin/admin

Directory Structure

dashboards/: Contains JSON dashboard definitions
- enhanced_logs.json: Dashboard for viewing and filtering Mattermost logs
- kpiMetrics.json: Dashboard for key performance indicators
- metricsv2.json: Dashboard for detailed application metrics
- bonusMetrics.json: Dashboard for additional metrics
provisioning/: Contains automatic provisioning configurations
- datasources/: Configures data source connections
- dashboards/: Sets up dashboard loading

Data Sources

The environment is configured with the following data sources:

Prometheus (Default): For metrics collection
- URL: http://prometheus:9090
- Used by most of the metric dashboards
Loki: For log aggregation
- URL: http://loki:3100
- Used by the enhanced_logs dashboard
- Queries using the LogQL language

Log Dashboard

The enhanced_logs.json dashboard is designed to work with logs collected via Alloy and stored in Loki. It provides:

Log filtering by level (error, warn, info, debug)
Visual metrics about log levels and counts
Error tracking and analysis
Time-series views of log patterns

The dashboard queries use the label job="mattermost" to filter logs from the Mattermost application.

Best Practices

When modifying dashboards:

Export/backup existing dashboards before making major changes
Test queries in the Explore interface before adding to dashboards
Use variables for consistent filtering across panels
Maintain consistent styling
