How to use Grafana with best practices

The Azion data source plugin on Grafana allows you to customize dashboards with your Azion data.

While using Grafana, there are a few best practices you can rely on:

To use a time series graph, you must inform a timestamp on the Time path field. It must be used in ISO8601 format or a configurable custom format.
To aggregate data into multiple data points, you must use the Group by field. To use a time series graph, you must use this field.
Nested objects are flattened with underscores.
While using Grafana variables, replace them directly in the query’s field.
To configure or change a name of a field shown in the legend, use the Alias by field: substitute $field_<field.name> with the values for the field; substitute $fieldName with a name for the field.
Use annotations to mark points on a graph.
Use the dashboard’s time range to explore and analyze your data.
