Override the Default Monitoring Dashboard
Solutions from Marketplace have the following monitoring services prepackaged in them: * Prometheus * Grafana
You can access the default monitoring services through their respected gatewayIP through your solution:
-
For Prometheus: metrics.[gatewayIP].nip.io
-
For Grafana: dashboard.[gatewayIP].nip.io
Accessing metrics through Prometheus
To access metrics of your solution, go to metrics.[gatewayIP].nip.io. Here, different metrics can be viewed and executed.
Registering a custom dashboard using Grafana
Note: For a custom dashboard you need a configmap with JSON data. If you already have it, it should look similar to this:

}Within your Helm chart in your service, create a configmap with the customized JSON. Note: If metrics need to be changed within your JSON, they can be accessed through Prometheus's metrics.
