The `grafana-sidecar-dashboard.json` template shows Dapr sidecar status, including sidecar health/resources, throughput/latency of HTTP and gRPC, Actor, mTLS, etc.:

## Pre-requisites
- [Setup Prometheus]({{<ref prometheus.md>}})
## Setup on Kubernetes
### Install Grafana
1. Add the Grafana Helm repo:
```bash
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
```
1. Install the chart:
```bash
helm install grafana grafana/grafana -n dapr-monitoring
```
{{% alert title="Note" color="primary" %}}
If you are Minikube user or want to disable persistent volume for development purpose, you can disable it by using the following command instead:
```bash
helm install grafana grafana/grafana -n dapr-monitoring --set persistence.enabled=false
```
{{% /alert %}}
1. Retrieve the admin password for Grafana login:
```bash
kubectl get secret --namespace dapr-monitoring grafana -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo
```
You will get a password similar to `cj3m0OfBNx8SLzUlTx91dEECgzRlYJb60D2evof1%`. Remove the `%` character from the password to get `cj3m0OfBNx8SLzUlTx91dEECgzRlYJb60D2evof1` as the admin password.
1. Validation Grafana is running in your cluster:
```bash
kubectl get pods -n dapr-monitoring
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
dapr-prom-kube-state-metrics-9849d6cc6-t94p8 1/1 Running 0 4m58s
dapr-prom-prometheus-alertmanager-749cc46f6-9b5t8 2/2 Running 0 4m58s
dapr-prom-prometheus-node-exporter-5jh8p 1/1 Running 0 4m58s
dapr-prom-prometheus-node-exporter-88gbg 1/1 Running 0 4m58s
dapr-prom-prometheus-node-exporter-bjp9f 1/1 Running 0 4m58s
dapr-prom-prometheus-pushgateway-688665d597-h4xx2 1/1 Running 0 4m58s
dapr-prom-prometheus-server-694fd8d7c-q5d59 2/2 Running 0 4m58s
grafana-c49889cff-x56vj 1/1 Running 0 5m10s
```
### Configure Prometheus as data source
First you need to connect Prometheus as a data source to Grafana.
1. Port-forward to svc/grafana:
```bash
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
```
1. Open a browser to `http://localhost:8080`
1. Login to Grafana
- Username = `admin`
- Password = Password from above
1. Select `Configuration` and `Data Sources`

1. Add Prometheus as a data source.
<img src="/images/grafana-add-datasources.png" alt="Screenshot of the Prometheus add Data Source" width=600>
1. Get your Prometheus HTTP URL
The Prometheus HTTP URL follows the format `http://<prometheus service endpoint>.<namespace>`
Start by getting the Prometheus server endpoint by running the following command:
```bash
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 guide the server name is `dapr-prom-prometheus-server` and the namespace is `dapr-monitoring`, so the HTTP URL will be `http://dapr-prom-prometheus-server.dapr-monitoring`.
1. Fill in the following settings:
- Name: `Dapr`
- HTTP URL: `http://dapr-prom-prometheus-server.dapr-monitoring`
- Default: On
- Skip TLS Verify: On
- Necessary in order to save and test the configuration
<img src="/images/grafana-prometheus-dapr-server-url.png" alt="Screenshot of the Prometheus Data Source configuration" width=600>
1. Click `Save & Test` button to verify that the connection succeeded.
## Import dashboards in Grafana
1. In the upper left corner of the Grafana home screen, click the "+" option, then "Import".
You can now import [Grafana dashboard templates](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/tree/master/grafana) from [release assets](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/releases) for your Dapr version:
<img src="/images/grafana-uploadjson.png" alt="Screenshot of the Grafana dashboard upload option" width=700>
1. Find the dashboard that you imported and enjoy
<img src="/images/system-service-dashboard.png" alt="Screenshot of Dapr service dashboard" width=900>
{{% alert title="Tip" color="primary" %}}
Hover your mouse over the `i` in the corner to the description of each chart:
