Integrating Applications Manager DB with Grafana

Integrating Applications Manager DB with Grafana

Grafana is an open-source data visualization tool that collects data across multiple software platforms and retrieves them altogether in a single dashboard. It provides advanced analytics by connecting to various data sources in different platforms, collects data and visualizes them in the form of charts, graphs, alerts, etc., providing better visibility and transparency.

By integrating Applications Manager DB with Grafana, you can visualize the data stored in the backend database of Applications Manager and obtain advanced analytics. Follow the steps given below to integrate Applications Manager backend DB:

Step 1: Login to Grafana.

 

 

Step 2: Click on Settings icon -> Add data source and search for the keyword 'SQL'.

 

 

Step 3: Click on the database server type that is being used by Applications Manager. To find the backend database server used by Applications Manager, go to Settings -> Support -> Check Installation Information box (Database Type key will help us to know the database server used). For example, click on PostgreSQL in Grafana, if you are using bundled PostgreSQL for Applications Manager.

Note: By default, bundled PostgreSQL in Applications manager can be connected only from the Applications Manager installed server

 

Step 4: Provide the required data to configure data source. Host and Database information can be found by referring the Database Backend Details box under Settings -> Support in Applications Manager. In case of bundled PostgreSQL, use the below credentials:

Click on Save & test button. 

 

 

Step 5: Create a new dashboard using the + button.

 

Step 6: Click on Add a new panel.

 

Step 7: Choose the added database server as Data source.

 

Step 8: Give a name to the query.



 

Step 9: Click on Edit query icon, add a query to fetch data from Applications Manager DB and choose the data format type.

 

Step 10: Choose a visualization type to render the data.

Step 11: Click on Save button on the top right corner menu, provide a name to dashboard and save it.

Upon completing the above steps, you will be able to visualize the Applications Manager backend DB performance in Grafana dashboard.
