Getting Started

Grafana is the open source analytics and monitoring platform for visualizing metrics, logs, and traces. With Grafana on Open Source Cloud you can spin up a dedicated Grafana instance without managing infrastructure.

Prerequisites

• If you have not already done so, sign up for an OSC account.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Open the Grafana service page

Navigate to the Grafana service page on the OSC dashboard.

Step 2: Create an instance

Click Create grafana and enter a name for your instance (e.g., mygrafana). Click Create and wait for the instance status to change to Running.

Step 3: Open Grafana

Once running, click the instance card and use the Open button to access your Grafana instance. Log in with the admin credentials you configured.

CLI usage

You can also create a Grafana instance using the OSC CLI.

npx @osaas/cli create eyevinn-grafana mygrafana

List your running instances:

npx @osaas/cli list eyevinn-grafana

Remove an instance when you no longer need it:

npx @osaas/cli remove eyevinn-grafana mygrafana

Source Code

Grafana is open source and available on GitHub: grafana/grafana
