Grafana Dashboard

Requisitos previos

First install Grafana and Prometheus on your machine.

note

You can also use Grafana Cloud instead of installing it locally.

Enable metrics

To enable metrics, you'll have to modify the CLI arguments of your node and farmer by adding the Prometheus option:

for a node: --prometheus-listen-on 127.0.0.1:9080

for a farmer: --prometheus-listen-on 127.0.0.1:9081

To apply the changes, it's necessary to restart your node and farmer. You should then have the capability to reach the metrics at http://localhost:9080 and http://localhost:9081.

Configure Prometheus targets

Locate the prometheus.yml file and add the following job entry under the scrape_configs section:

- job_name: "subspace"
static_configs:
- targets: ["localhost:9080"]
labels:
group: 'node'
- targets: ["localhost:9081"]
labels:
group: 'farmer'

On Linux machines, you can typically find the prometheus.yml file at the following path: /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

Restart Prometheus with the new configuration.

note

Prometheus can reload its configuration without restarting by using the SIGHUP signal. If you're running on Linux this can be performed by using kill -s SIGHUP <PID>, replacing <PID> with your Prometheus process ID.

Configure Grafana

By default, Grafana usually runs on port 3000. You can access Grafana by navigating to the following URL: http://localhost:3000.

The default username and password is admin.

Add your Prometheus Data Source:

Click Save & test to test the configuration, if everything is alright you'll see the green message "Data source is working".

Import Grafana dashboard

Copy and paste the Grafana Dashboard ID 20433 and click Load to complete importing:

Select your Prometheus as Data Source and click Import.

At this point, you should be able to monitor your node.
