Grafana and Dashboard Examples

Grafana is an open source application to visualize large-scale measurement data. You can use Grafana to display monitoring data stored in a database.

Grafana can display dashboards, such as the following examples, in a web browser.

The installer adds the Apache Kafka monitoring dashboards as part of the installation procedure. The dashboards include a top-level dashboard which displays statistics common to many massaging systems as well as a set of Kafka-specific dashboards.

The messaging independent topmost level dashboard displays information from both Apache Kafka and TIBCO FTL allowing high-level messaging statistics from both messaging systems to be monitored from a single dashboard.

Grafana dashboards in the sample are tailored to display monitoring data grouped by similar Apache Kafka functionality.

When the monitoring start script starts the Grafana server, it automatically loads the Apache Kafka dashboards from monitoring/config/influxdb/dashboards.

You can also define your own dashboards. For more information, refer to the Grafana documentation.

Following are some sample dashboard images.
