Managing Dashboards¶
WSO2 Streaming Integrator uses Grafana to host and view its pre-configured dashboards that are designed to view statistics relating to its performance as well as streaming activities. The pre-configured dashboards are imported to Grafana as JSON files. Once they are imported, you can organize them in folders, view them, and/or delete them.
Organizing the dashboards in folders¶
The dashboards you import are saved in the General folder by default. If required, you can create a design a folder structure that matches your requirement and save the dashboards in the different folders of the structure based on your categorization of the dashboards.
Note
When working with the dashboards related to ELT Flows, create new folders named overview-statistics
, file-statistics
, rdbms-statistics
, cdc-statistics
, http-statistics
, and kafka-statistics
.
