You can import the Data Transferred dashboard that ships with the Azion plugin for Grafana, and open it in Grafana with no panel to configure. Through the Azion data source, the dashboard reads from Real-Time Metrics the data your Applications transfer. To build your own panels instead, refer to Build a custom Grafana dashboard. To import a dashboard from a JSON file, refer to Import the Data Transferred dashboard.

Prerequisites

  • A Grafana instance with the Azion plugin installed and an Azion data source created. To set up both, refer to Install the Azion plugin for Grafana.
  • A data source that holds a personal token from Azion Console and passed Save & test. Save & test checks that the token authenticates to your Azion account. To create the token, refer to Personal tokens.

Import the Data Transferred dashboard

The plugin lists the Data Transferred dashboard on the Dashboards tab of the Azion data source, next to its Settings tab. To import the dashboard into Grafana:

Open the Azion data source

In Grafana, open the configuration page of the Azion data source you created.

Go to the Dashboards tab
Select the Data Transferred dashboard

In the list, select Data Transferred.

Select Import

Grafana adds the Data Transferred dashboard to your Grafana account.

Open the dashboard

Grafana lists the imported dashboard under General. To open it:

Open the dashboard list

In the Grafana menu, select Dashboards.

Open Data Transferred

Under General, select Data Transferred.

The dashboard shows the Applications Data Transferred data from Real-Time Metrics, with no further setup. For what each Data Transferred metric measures in Azion Console, refer to Build dashboards.

Keep an editable copy

A copy lets you change panels and still keep the original view of the imported dashboard. To edit the dashboard without losing that view, save it as a copy from its Dashboard Settings.

The copy takes your edits, and the original Data Transferred dashboard keeps its view. For more information on editing a dashboard, refer to Create and use dashboards in the Grafana documentation.
