Observe metrics with Grafana
This document describes how to view Dapr metrics in a Grafana dashboard. You can see example screenshots of the Dapr dashboards here.
Or watch this video for a demonstration of the Grafana Dapr metrics dashboard.
Prerequisites
Steps to view metrics
Configure Prometheus as data source
First you need to connect Prometheus as a data source to Grafana.
- Port-forward to svc/grafana
$ kubectl port-forward svc/grafana 8080:80 -n dapr-monitoring
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 3000
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 3000
Handling connection for 8080
Handling connection for 8080
-
Browse
http://localhost:8080
-
Login with admin and password
-
Click Configuration Settings -> Data Sources
-
Add Prometheus as a data soruce.
-
Enter Promethesus server address in your cluster.
You can get the Prometheus server address by running the following command.
kubectl get svc -n dapr-monitoring
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
dapr-prom-kube-state-metrics ClusterIP 10.0.174.177 <none> 8080/TCP 7d9h
dapr-prom-prometheus-alertmanager ClusterIP 10.0.255.199 <none> 80/TCP 7d9h
dapr-prom-prometheus-node-exporter ClusterIP None <none> 9100/TCP 7d9h
dapr-prom-prometheus-pushgateway ClusterIP 10.0.190.59 <none> 9091/TCP 7d9h
dapr-prom-prometheus-server ClusterIP 10.0.172.191 <none> 80/TCP 7d9h
elasticsearch-master ClusterIP 10.0.36.146 <none> 9200/TCP,9300/TCP 7d10h
elasticsearch-master-headless ClusterIP None <none> 9200/TCP,9300/TCP 7d10h
grafana ClusterIP 10.0.15.229 <none> 80/TCP 5d5h
kibana-kibana ClusterIP 10.0.188.224 <none> 5601/TCP 7d10h
In this Howto, the server is dapr-prom-prometheus-server
.
You now need to set up Prometheus data source with the following settings:
- Name:
Dapr
- HTTP URL:
http://dapr-prom-prometheus-server.dapr-monitoring
- Default: On
- Click
Save & Test
button to verify that the connection succeeded.
Import dashboards in Grafana
Next you import the Dapr dashboards into Grafana.
In the upper left, click the "+" then "Import".
You can now import built-in Grafana dashboard templates.
The Grafana dashboards are part of release assets with this URL https://github.com/dapr/dapr/releases/
You can find grafana-actor-dashboard.json
, grafana-sidecar-dashboard.json
and grafana-system-services-dashboard.json
in release assets location.
- Find the dashboard that you imported and enjoy!
