Configuring Grafana Data Source

In TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail, Grafana comes pre-installed with two data source plug-ins, namely Hawk RedTail data source and Loglogic data source. These data sources are responsible for fetching metrics and logs from TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail and LogLogic® Log Management Intelligence (LMI) respectively, and then transform the results as per Grafana requirement.

Configuring Hawk RedTail Data Source

TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail provides preinstalled data source named Hawk RedTail. This is the default plug-in which acts as a translator between Grafana and TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail. The plug-in fetches query results from TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail and then transforms those results into Grafana compatible information. Grafana then displays this translated information in the form of visualization specified by the user. To access Hawk RedTail data source settings, hover over the Configuration () icon, click Data Sources, and then click the Hawk RedTail data source.

Name Default Value Description
Name Hawk RedTail The data source name. This is how you refer to the data source in panels and queries.
HTTP
Default Yes Default data source means that it is pre-selected for new panels.
URL https://webapp:9680

https://localhost:9680

URL that needs to be accessible from the Grafana server.

Note: You must change the URL based on the actual IP address and port configured for Webapp component.
Whitelisted Cookies jwtBearerToken Cookies by name that should be forwarded to the data source.
Auth
Basic Auth No Specifies whether basic authentication to the Hawk RedTail data source is enabled.
TLS Client Auth No Specifies whether TLS authentication to the Hawk RedTail data source is enabled.
Skip TLS Verify Yes Specifies whether the certificate verification must be skipped.
Forward OAuth Identity No Specifies whether to forward the user's upstream OAuth identity to the data source.
With Credentials No Specifies whether credentials such as cookies or auth headers should be sent with cross-site requests.
With CA Cert No Specifies whether self-signed TLS certificates must be verified.

Configuring LogLogic Data Source

TIBCO OI Hawk RedTail provides the data source named LogLogic. This data source must be manually configured. When configured, this datasource is capable of fetching logs from a remote TIBCO LogLogic appliance and translating the logs to Grafana format. Grafana then displays this translated information in a tabular format. The datasource fully supports the TIBCO LogLogic EQL. To access the LogLogic data source settings, hover over the Configuration () icon, click Data Sources, and then click the LogLogic data source.

Name Default Value Description
Name LogLogic The data source name. This is how you refer to the data source in panels and queries.
HTTP
Default No Default data source means that it is pre-selected for new panels.
URL

IP address of the LogLogic server.
Whitelisted Cookies null Cookies by name that should be forwarded to the data source.
Auth
Basic Auth Yes Specifies whether basic authentication to the LogLogic data source is enabled.
