Because I’ve been asked this a lot, I provided a smat step-by-step instruction to setup Grafana with my dashboard. Hope this works and will help people to get started.

  1. Step: Install Grafana (http://docs.grafana.org/installation/debian/) & start it

  2. Step: In .gaiad/config.toml set prometheus=true

  3. Step: Restart gaiad to apply config changes

  4. Step: Download prometheus (https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/first_steps/), edit prometheus.yml
    Add the following:

       # COSMOS MONITORING
   # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped$
   - job_name: 'cosmops'

   	# metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
   	# scheme defaults to 'http'.

 	static_configs:
 	- targets: ['localhost:26660']
 		labels:
 			group: 'cosmops'

  5. Step: start prometheus with: ./prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml

  6. Step: Open Grafana in Browser & Do initial Setup

  7. Step: Under Configuration -> Data Source -> Add a new Data Source

Name: CosmosDataSource
Type: Prometheus
URL: http://localhost:9090
Scrape Interval: 5s
Rest is Default

-> Save&Test should add DataSource

  1. Step: In Grafana goto Dashboard -> Import
  2. Step: Paste 7044 (this is my Dashboard template for Grafana), Choose “CosmosDataSource” as Data Source
  3. Step: You should now have a working Dashboard :slight_smile:
