Grafana
Grafana is an open-source platform for data visualization and monitoring. It allows you to collect metrics from various data sources and display them in informative and engaging dashboards.
In our Settings App, you can create dashboards of the type "Grafana ". These dashboards can then be linked to a specific machine to monitor and visualize its data and metrics.
Once a dashboard is created and linked to a machine, it becomes accessible in the Portal App. There, you can monitor and analyze the data in real-time to make informed decisions and optimize the performance of your machines.

Grafana Elements
Panels
Grafana dashboards are an effective way to visualize and analyze data. They consist of panels that display different types of diagrams or tables. Each panel is connected to a data source and shows the results of a query executed on this data source.
Variables
A crucial aspect of Grafana dashboards is the use of variables. Variables allow you to create dynamic dashboards that change based on user input. You can, for example, create a variable that allows users to select the time period for which data should be displayed. Variables can also be used to modify specific aspects of queries executed by panels.
